Processes/ Activities:

• Provided focus – gives us valuable tools.
• You get us thinking & speaking out, keeping us on a direction. You understand us and where we want to go.

Facilitation

• Very well thought out process to lead us through the “lists” of projects and discussions.
• The “Positive Culture Company” picks up ideas of the corporation (Town) very fast & effectively.
• Process promoted excellent & effective discussion between Council and administration regarding the immediate & long term operation of the Town. ·

Graphics:

• Your graphics work great and help us keep on track.
• This kept our attention, developed our interest, got good participation and it is now explainable to us, our citizens & visitors.
• Graphics were key in assisting, especially through areas where ideas were varied – allowing better focus being reached in less time.
• Much easier to follow and keep in front of your workload – a check to see you are on track.
• Excellent! Visual tools describe the process and it leaves us with something great to look at and remind us about our work accomplished this weekend.
