Where did community go?

April 9th, 2010 by admin

Outstanding new campaign by YMCA of Greater Vancouver, encouraging us to take a step back and consider what community used to be, and more importantly, where it’s going.

Why do we prefer iPods to conversation?

Why do we have more friends on Facebook than in real life?

When did we stop letting our kids walk to school?

Seems that over the past couple of decades, we’ve been spending more time at work, less time with our families, and less time doing physical activities. Obesity is up, internet usage is way up, and participation in sports is way down. Maybe it’s time to go back to a time when we knew the mailman, we knew our neighbours, and we felt safe in our own neighbourhoods.
