Keeping Sooke a Compassionate Community
Sooke is the kind of place where people of colour, LGBTQ+ people, and those fortunate enough to have been on this land for generations come together to volunteer, work, play and help make our community what it is.
Sooke should continue to be a compassionate community—a place where strangers greet each other with a smile, neighbours look out for one another, and people from different backgrounds work together to make our community better.
As Sooke grows, we have an opportunity to build more than houses, roads and infrastructure. We can build a community where people feel welcomed, connected and valued.
That means supporting the places and organizations that bring people together, creating opportunities for people of all ages to participate, and recognizing the contributions of those who have cared for this land and community for generations.
Growth should not mean losing what makes Sooke special.
Takeaway
Keep Sooke kind. Keep Sooke connected. Keep Sooke smiling!
Welcome each other. Work together. Build a community where everyone has a place.
