My positive note of the idea of social inclusion is that people have access to resources and the opportunity to participate, no matter who they are or what barriers or struggles they have. So in our community, that has especially meant people struggling with drug addiction and homelessness, that they are included in our business ventures and in our decision-making as a neighbourhood. I think those are some of the concrete ways of describing social inclusion.
