Mount Pleasant Community Planning Program - Social Issues
Social Coordinating Group (SCG) Terms of Reference
Government and non-government service delivery agencies, City staff, and community, business and property owners will be responsible for coordinating the implementation of the Community Action Agenda ( PDF, 63KB). The SCG relies on the expertise of existing community groups who are already working on social issues, and receive help from a project coordinator who provides linkages between appropriate City services and liaison with key external agencies (e.g., Coastal Health) and senior governments where appropriate. This group will focus on problem-solving, partnership building, and project implementation.
SCG Objectives
- focus on tackling pressing social issues in Mount Pleasant
- utilize community expertise and existing initiatives to create tangible solutions
- help ensure appropriate and diverse groups and agencies are represented
- help ensure that the broader public and especially those impacted by any action projects/plans are involved
- provide appropriate consultation back to groups represented on the SCG and to the community at large
- utilize community experience in taking action on social issues by contributing to long-range community planning and policy-making
SCG Duties
- help to identify local issues and actions already underway
- participate in problem solving
- develop project, action and evaluation plans
- monitor and manage action projects/plans and activities
- contribute to long-term social sustainability policy to be included in the Mount Pleasant Community Plan

SCG Working Groups
Project-based Working Groups may be formed made up of residents, businesses, service providers and other stakeholders. These Working Groups will not select preferred options. Project based groups would come under the SCG’s umbrella to implement individual action projects/plans.
