York Region and its nine municipalities are committed to keeping and enhancing our communities as places where families are strong, homes and streets are safe, education is effective, businesses are productive, and neighbours care about one another. The Character Community Council strives to reflect the different sectors and diversity of our community. Its members work on a variety of sub-committees and are actively involved in sponsoring on-going character programs, including: Character Business Program, Family Forums, and a Community Awareness Program.
