Like so many of our successes in the city, we started with few resources, but departments worked together, utilized recycled or surplus equipment and materials, and many partners and neighbors brought resources of coordination and hard work, what was formerly a weed patch took shape as a park. Community Connection is an inspiring, tangible feeling that in order for one to experience one must leave the comfort of their home or set aside the business of the moment to reach out to a neighbor or get involved with the city and other residents. Our own Community Connection Program is under the direction of CITY NEWSLETTER CIVIC EDITION Mayor Wood Highlights Civic Involvement in SSL Urban Livability Director, Glenn Smith. According to the Sustainable Cities Institute, Taking the time to participate in authentic community engagement delivers triple bottom line results: sustainability that impacts economic prosperity, environmental quality and social bonds. I applaud this kind of rich interaction among our community members who serve as SSL Planning Commissioners, Neighborhood Advisory Committee (NAC), and Promise South Salt Lake Councils. Thank you to residents and businesses who offer service through participation in Neighborhood Watch, Rotary and Lion s Clubs, SSLPD Honorary Colonels, SSL Chamber, - among our city s youth, who intentionally participate in groups such as Youth City Council, TEAM PAL Service Club, (Together Everyone Achieves More), Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and participate in faith-based community service projects. As I drove away from McCall Park that day, I watched neighbors standing in conversation in small groups and listened to the sounds of children joyfully playing in the park. I was as proud as I have ever been to live and work in.
