Concerned citizens and engaged organizations across Canada
are working to create a more just and caring society. They
are developing new and innovative ways of working together
to create solutions to the complex problems facing their communities.
They are launching movements for change.
Tamarack believes that the way we work is
as important as what we are working on. We also recognize
that we, and many of our partners, work like an organization,
but we think like a movement. That’s why, in 2006, we’ve
focused our efforts on learning more about movements for change,
specifically movements that are born in a local context but
grow to become national or international social change efforts.
We hope that our Movements for Change learning
theme will inspire and encourage your excitement about the
potential of large-scale, sustainable social change in our
communities and country!
