The Parksville-Qualicum Foundation wants to help people share ideas about enhancing quality of life and building vibrant communities through a three-year project called the Arrowsmith Community Dialogues.

"The need for communities to act together is more important than ever", said Foundation President Gale Mossman. "Today's complex and difficult challenges can only be solved by working together".
