In 2016, the City initiated a
Collective Impact Process which is a disciplined, cross-sector approach to solving complex social issues on a large scale. Prince George has chosen "improving health outcomes for children" as its common agenda. Having a common agenda allows multiple sectors to articulate the challenge to be addressed and establish clear and shared goals for change. A Strategy Development Team comprised of representatives from The City of Prince George, School District 57, Northern Health, Prince George Native Friendship Centre, MCFD, UNBC, the Prince George Public Library, The Family YMCA of Northern BC (Lead agency, Integrated Youth Services Initiative) and Integris Credit Union has convened to develop strategies and associated actions that will collectively contribute to the shared achievement of the community's vision for improved health outcomes for children.
