#16. Bonnie Trottier: How to measure well-being in a small town

#16. December 16, 2018. Bonnier Trottier, a former child-care social worker and Valleyview community coordinator, has been a major part of the fledgling Valleyview Well-being Coalition. Bonnie was asked by Town Manager, Marty Paradine, to become a key architect of the Coalition as part of her applied studies in community planning at McEwan University (Edmonton). Bonnie was instrumental as a connector and catalyst for getting the Coalition up and running. Bonnie has become a champion of well-being in Valleyview (a small community of 1800 people) and sees well-being communities as the future for development of communities across Canada. I spoke with Bonnie from her home in Valleyview Alberta on July 13, 2018 to reflect on her experience with the Valleyview Well-being Initiative.
