The "Our High River Community Summit" is back, and is helping us all get connected within the community.

This Saturday, January 14th, all High River citizens are invited to the Highwood Memorial Centre for the free all-day summit with a focus on forming community connections.

Community Organizer, Caitland Asmundsonsays that the goal is simple.

"We just want everyone to come away with some tools in their toolkit. Feeling like they're more connected. Feeling like they have sort of a roadmap for where to go for themselves in 2017. Where to go with their sort of citizen activities that they're passionate about."
