While the idyllic image of the community may have disappeared in the whirlwind of urban living and the accompanying fragmentation of our lives, new communities develop, crossing boundaries of space, time and distance. As one participant puts it, "We are the community." Participants discuss different types of support networks inside and outside the family, the perceived stigma associated with asking for help from community services, and the changing definition of community.

Lesson Launcher/Inquiry Questions:
A Q&A session recorded in 1995 representing a cross-section of Canadian society. Topics respectfully discussed include community members, community services, the stigma associated with asking for help, and pride. Ideal for class discussions or essay topics. Is there still a stigma attached to asking for help from the community? What does community mean to you? Do communities take care of their own? How could communities be improved?
