The Community Action Group in the Windsor neighbourhood in Thunder Bay offers opportunity and a safe place as it continues to build neighbourhood capacity in Thunder Bay. <br /> <br />The Community Action Group (CAG) in the Windsor Blutcher and Picton neighbourhood has continued moving forward in a positive direction after years of steady progress. <br /> <br />The Windsor complex located on Junot Avenue saw the CAG formed as a grassroots based effort of people in the neighbourhood seeking to make things better. <br /> <br />Neighbours have banded together, and put in place programs and events in their neighbourhood that help to unit the residents, and to keep the youth busy. <br /> <br />This effort has been assisted greatly by the use of “Unit 16” in the Windsor – Thunder Bay District Housing has set aside one unit in Windsor, one in Academy, and one in Limbrick that is for community use. <br /> <br />The Unit 16 is the base for the CAG and allows use of the kitchen, and the other rooms for the community to gather for activities and events. <br /> <br />From having their own after-school programs, to breakfast programs and other opportunities, having the unit offers the ability for the neighbourhood to gather and work toward making their neighbourhood better. <br /> <br />In Windsor the Community Action Group has been assisted by a number of different groups. The Regional Multicultural Youth Council, Alpha House, a multitude of volunteers, and members of the community as well have all helped. <br /> <br />The Thunder Bay District Health Unit, the CAHEB for art, along with the Guardian Angels have all been part of the growth of this project.
