Welcome to Volunteers and Staff of Community Matters

Hello all: This Blog has been created so that all of us at Community Matters can get to know each other and communicate between ourselves. Our schedule is full!! We update our website at communitymatterstoronto.org regularly and have many visitors. We have at least 30 volunteers and community assistants who help at all different times of the day and week. It is important that we learn about each other. This blog is one way to do that, to publish information and talk with each other. We want to showcase you on this blog. (The blog is private and only for CMT staff members) Ali and Marg have written the short article,

Participation in Canadian 'Culture'?

specifically to get your ideas and comments so we can add them and improve the content. How can we can help each other? Ideas?? Questions?? Comments about CMT?? POST THEM ON the CMT FORUM on this blog. Without you, CMT would not exist and our community would not be nearly as strong and vibrant as it is. Please check in from time to time. We will be posting announcements and what's happening at CMT to keep you informed.
