About Character Abbotsford
The Character Abbotsford Council is a group of passionate leaders that meets five times per year with the goal of Inspiring character in our citizens, Engaging and Equipping leaders to model and teach, and Uses their Influence to positively impact our community.
Who We Are
We are a grassroots character movement aimed at sparking pride and ownership in each of our community members.
Our Vision
We are a community of character.
Our Mission
Inspiring character, enabling leaders, influencing community.
In knowing who we are, it’s important to know who we’re not. We are not the character police, here to judge, tied to any religious or political group or here to pressure people to be perfect. Rather, how we live out our imperfections says a lot about our character. We are not talking so much about ethics as we are talking about universal values that every person in our community can embrace and hold dear.
Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Empathy, Courage and Service have the potential to be felt at the core of every human being, no matter who you are or what your background is.
We believe that encouraging these values in our citizens will lead to smart, heart-centred choices and smart, heart-centred actions. It’s that easy.
Our Values:
Respect
Responsibility
Integrity
Empathy
Courage
Service
The official Abbotsford Character Council was established in 2011.
