Social Planning Council
Mandate & Mission
The Social Planning Council is dedicated to an inclusive process that addresses the social aspects of building and maintaining a healthy, thriving community for the benefit of all its citizens. Its primary objectives are:
- To ensure the community works together to provide a safe, convenient and people oriented environment, which ensures access to all community amenities by all citizens regardless of age, income or other factors;
- To emphasize citizen participation in all social planning decisions affecting Smithers;
- To respond to changing social needs and issues in a responsible, flexible, collaborative and innovative manner; and
- To support and reinforce social development activities.
Working to Effect Change in Our Communities
Many people working in the areas of community and economic development have identified the need for greater cooperation and coordination of our efforts. In times of limited human and capital resources such synchronization is pivotal to our success.
The SSPC meets quarterly to share our knowledge, plan for the future and respond to the priorities put forward by members and citizens.
Festival of Nations
The Festival of Nations will be held June 11 from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. at the Moricetown Multiplex, outside Smithers BC. Using the Wet’suwet’en feast model to host dancers, musicians and food from a variety of cultures, the festival celebrates the Bulkely Valley’s global diversity and promotes multiculturalism and understanding throughout the region.
