Abstract

This paper presents the results of a case study of a grassroots commu- nity development initiative in St. John, New Brunswick. It was part of a larger study designed to investigate the sustainability of community- based crime prevention activities. This case study highlights a unique strategy for addressing local community needs. The lessons learned in St. John address many of the common challenges related to community development such as community mobilization, capacity building, plan- ning, partnerships and sustainability. Some attention is also directed at the role of government and non-governmental agencies in community- based initiatives since this represents an ongoing concern for those involved in community development.
