Community Development in Canada

by Jason D. Brown, David Hannis

This ISBN is for the Pearson eText and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplement. Like the first and second editions, this edition was written for a broad audience. Community Development in Canada, Third Edition, is intended for related courses at community college and university, as well as in adult education and professional development environments. As the world shifts to a greater reliance on digital media, it is appropriate that this text evolves as well. This third edition is the first fully digital version of Community Development in Canada . Instructors and students will find that, although the medium has changed, the content is fully consistent with prior editions. Students study community development for a variety of reasons. Some come to the course with a wealth of life experience and a great deal of expertise in community development work. Others are completely new to the area and come with an interest in how community organization and capacities impact the well-being of citizens. Our vision for this text, therefore, was to include theoretical and historical perspectives, as well as a brief look at the contemporary approaches used and skills needed by community workers. We have highlighted many major contributions by Canadians to the development and practice of community development. We are very pleased to have prepared this third edition of the text, which remains consistent with the purpose and themes outlined in the first edition but has been updated throughout to reflect current and emerging aspects of community development practice in Canada.
