The fact that people do not feel a sense of belonging to their community is an issue that concerns many. A survey conducted by the YMCA Canada found that 60 per cent of Canadians feel disconnected from their community. The executive director of this Lethbridge group, Jennifer Petracek-Kolb, says around 16 per cent of people surveyed said they have never felt a sense of community. She explains why folks are feeling a bit of a disconnect. The research is from a survey of 1501 Canadians under the age of 55 conducted from August 29 to September 3.
