Description

with guest David Witt of iTeams.
When you hear the words ‘community development’, what comes to mind? International or local? Urban or rural? While many people might default to thinking of a tiny international village, there’s plenty of community development work that needs to happen right here in Canada too.
In this episode, Dave Witt from iTeams, offers insight into what it means to work with those on the margins in urban centers in Canada. Dave shares moving anecdotes from real communities banding together and reminds us of the importance of recognizing that everybody has a story that leads them to where they are today, no matter their circumstances.
