So far, affordable housing and better support for shelters for homeless people top the list of what people are most concerned about in Oshawa.

Five working groups were established to help us build capacity and realize the potential of We Are Oshawa with people signing up:

• Fundraising
• Communication
• Political Action
• Outreach & Allies
• Education & Awareness

There's still room to take part and we'd love to have you join us. If you’re interested in participating in any of the committees, please contact a member of the Executive.

Discussion of a proposed Mission & Values Statement was discussed and referred to the Executive Committee for review. The Statement will provide focus for a Strategic Planning Workshop planned for late November.
