More in this Section...

There are some community groups in Richmond Hill that are part of the Character Community Initiative. These groups do their best to demonstrate and encourage good character. This project is just one of the ways we support and encourage community development.

What is a Character Community group?

Character Community groups have a number of goals that focus on people, their behaviours and attitudes. These groups build team commitment and encourage everyone to work together to identify good character traits that are most important to their organization. They also raise awareness about the importance of good character.

Why should my organization become a Character Community group?

Meeting the expectations of the Character Community Initiative, community groups can receive the following benefits:

  • Use of the Character Community logo for promotional materials and clothing
  • A Pledge Certificate to display in your organization, club or association, which explains your commitment to being a Character Community group
  • Opportunities to showcase your group at community events
  • Your group's name listed on the Character Community page in the Richmond Hill Community Recreation Guide and on the Richmond Hill website
  • Access to resources to help your group achieve character initiatives

How does my organization become a Character Community group?

Your community group can become part of the Character Community Initiative for free. Your group must agree to consider and support the character attributes chosen by the Character Community Council of York Region in everything they do, including all programs and events.

Email us a completed Character Community Application Form or fax it to 905-737-0430 (Attention: Kathy Sampson) to apply.
