Community Leadership capacity is the key to building a thriving Community in the 21st Century
Community Leadership Capacity is leadership excellence by both formal and informal leaders in all sectors, stakeholder groups and at all levels. The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB) has set out to proactively and holistically increase the leadership capacity of the Region by offering Leadership Boot Camp leadership development program.
RMWB has partnered with renowned Community Builder and Social Innovator Ian Hill to create this first of its kind program that will equip participants with the leadership competencies and leadership tools the times require.
RMWB Leadership Boot Camps is a 15 week competency based leadership development program and is being offered in three different locations throughout the Region; Fort McMurray, Janvier and Fort Chipewyan. This will allow for maximum participation and maximum impact!
By equipping leaders at all levels of the Region with the tools and competencies of today’s effective leader, we will build the thriving community that all will want to live in and be an example across the Globe.
As the needs of our communities change and the dynamics and demands of leaders increase,
there must be a corresponding adjustment in how leaders operate their businesses or
organizations, mobilize community resources, build community capacity and interact with all stakeholders.
This will ensure that they are fulfilling their roles in building strong (both figuratively and literally), sustainable, thriving communities for today and into the future. The leadership approach the times require (and the one that many long for) is what we refer to as a “Community Builder”!

When we ask personnel managers of companies to identify the key qualities they
look for in hiring recent college graduates, they rank a job candidate’s
leadership skills as the main factor in hiring. Ask community organizations
what they feel students need to learn in college, and you will hear them say:
Students need to learn leadership skills, so that they can help their communities.
