Prevention Needs Assessments & Community Profiles

​Download Profile
Since Communities That Care Launched in 2008 three Prevention Needs Assessment Surveys and three Community Profiles have been completed. This collection of youth driven data is important for creating collective impact approaches. 

​Williams Lake was one of the only communities across Canada to launch and complete the Prevention Needs Assessments across the school district during the pandemic. This could not have been done without the incredible support of SD 27 and other community organizations, members, and funders.
Thank you to our funders and in-kind support:
  • School District #27
  • United Way – Thompson-Cariboo-Shuswap
  • Cariboo Regional District
  • City of Williams Lake
  • Axis Family Resources​
  • Red Cross BC
  • Civil Forfeiture Grants
  • Williams Lake and District Credit
  • Union Rotary Club of Williams Lake ​​
