Canning Bridge Communication

The future of our community is very much in focus now. Over the past three years we have had many public meetings, workshops, forums, meetings, seminars and barbecues around this topic. The way that we communicate is what keeps us together and moves us on.

What is clear is that there are many different opinions around the way that Como develops. Some opinions are certainly very strong. What has been outstanding is the way that people speak of their case, with respect and clarity. Similarly, people listen and respond to arguments. There has been little or no demand that this or that point of view must be accepted by all. That is not to say that there haven’t been moments of high emotion :-)

My belief is that it is how effectively we communicate that will most influence our future.
