Hi Ben...

  Excellent, excellent article!  It is so helpful as it assists my community development mindset grab onto and frameout narrative more readily.  Fully agree about investigating which narrative tools best fit with various parts of the community development cycle.  Our backbone team is completely willing to collaboratively research alongside you, "testing and evaluating" tools as we explore creating a community communication strategy within the context of our local community development initiative (Belonging Delburne).  This collective impact initiative is an opportunity for the community to come together, create connections and achieve the things that matter most to them.  The underpinning is to build and deepen social connnections ("Connect people to and within Delburne").  Would love to chat more with you about your insights so when you have a free moment in the craziness, please shoot me an email (delbfcss@delburne.ca).  Thanks!  Nora Smith
