            Vulnerable People At Risk Forum

            What we did

            The ‘Vulnerable People at Risk Forum’ was a full day, public event held on April 24, 2015. Nearly 300 people attended.  A series of speakers and interactive session were help to crowdsource perspectives on the following questions.

            • What locations in Whitehorse attract vulnerable people? Why and how can we improve safety for them, other citizens, and visitors?
            • What municipal, territorial, and first nation government programs are in place to help vulnerable people? Are they useful? Why or why not? How can we do this better?
            • What is being done in Whitehorse to help vulnerable people? Who is doing this work?
            • What new ideas can be implemented to improve the lives of vulnerable people? Who would implement the idea, and what resources are required?
            • What does helping vulnerable people in Whitehorse look like?

            What we heard

            Some of things we heard:

            • “Never give up on anybody.”
            • “Help educate people so their attitude towards vulnerable people change.”
            • “What would’ve helped me is someone reaching out and saying: ‘hey, I care about you.’”
            • “What are our values for a better community and life?”
            • “Let’s keep doing this so we can grow as a community.”

            Read all of the input in Appendix 1.
