  mandate of the community organizations and the
  Safety Coalition

  Coalition have the ability to influence other
  partners in the community. )through
  collaboration, policy development etc.)

  organizations and programs.

Eight questions continued

• 4 There is a readiness of the public to address
  the issues (the Rainy River District is receptive
  to change.)
