Project Impact is all about supporting small community projects that make a big difference. “Here is a quote from Marion Wright Edelman that I really like and I think fits beautifully,” shared Nicole Yantzi, a working group member with Project Impact. "We must not, in trying to think how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee".

The Sudbury working-group of The Media Co-op was formed to create independent media in the North, to speak to our issues and outlooks on our communities as well as the world around us. Independent media provides an avenue for people who are wishing to gain critical perspective on the issues that matter most to us, and to give a voice to those people and stories that you won't find in the mainstream media.
