Community Round Table

The Kings Regional Service Commission, alongside non-profit and community partners, is proud to continue hosting a series of Community Round Tables that bring people together to strengthen collaboration across our region.

These gatherings create space for networking, sharing ideas, and building partnerships that lead to practical solutions. By working together, we can better align efforts, reduce duplication, and focus on the shared goals that make our communities stronger and more resilient. This session builds on the ongoing series of Community Round Tables. All community organizations are encouraged to join, even if you were not able to attend previous sessions.

Guest Speakers

We’re pleased to welcome:

👩‍💼 Diane Tait: Senior Coordinator, Friendly Calls NB – Canadian Red Cross
The Friendly Calls program matches people over the age of 18 with trained Red Cross personnel who connect with them regularly to check in, provide emotional support, encourage healthy coping strategies, and suggest well-being resources and community connections to other existing services.

👩‍💼 Colleen Cookson: Director, Neighbourly Homes Saint John
Neighbourly Homes, a 12 Neighbours development in Saint John for people struggling with homelessness, began welcoming residents this August.

Come Ready to Share
As part of our speed-round activity, we’ll be exploring a Ring of Reciprocity. Please reflect on two short questions and be ready to share your thoughts:

• What is the biggest challenge your organization faces today? (Think of the one thing standing between your organization and its next big success.)
• How could your organization contribute to the success of another?

This activity will help us surface common needs and uncover opportunities to support one another.
