Today, the challenges of affordable housing, food insecurity and mental health, to name just a few, can seem overwhelming. In this issue of spur magazine, you’ll meet many people who have started where they stood to make a difference. Whether it’s supporting immigrant women from Africa on their journey of becoming new moms in a new city, creating a comfortable play and gathering place in the courtyard of a housing complex, teaching seniors how to use tablets so they can stay connected, or mobilizing volunteers to help neighbours in Cochrane; each of these stories started with seeing a need, then doing something about it. Each of us, doing just a little, collectively amounts to a lot! Enjoy these stories, and be inspired to just start where you stand. Read now: https://lnkd.in/gbjvk-mv Video by Christopher Cutler
