"A Character Community is one in which elected officials, community leaders in the education, business, faith community, law enforcement and media sectors, and citizens-at-large recognize and promote the importance of good character.
Everyone works together to ensure that families are strong, homes and streets are safe, education is effective, business is productive, neighbours care about one another and citizens are free to make wise choices for their lives and families.
In short, a Character Community has leaders who are models of the character attributes they advocate for their citizens."
