Approximately 125 citizens were trained as Community Connectors during the period. Monthly newsletters keep participants of the above projects informed of developments.

CCKC also helps augment when new support services are uncovered. Continued collaboration with Queen's University Faculty of Health Sciences on a research project on implementing and evaluating social prescribing in primary health care.
