Canada day three: Grow-your-own adapted DTC - the magic ingredients

What do you want it to FEEL LIKE in your Adapted TC?? 

This is the question we put to the collaboratiuon partners (and a few others) from the Canadian 'demonstration sites' for implementing democratic TC principles in eleven sites across Vancouver and wider British Columbia - almost into the Arctic Circle to an indigenous treatment and housing centre in Dawson Creek.

On Tuesday 4 April, at Granville Island Hotel, each table (of 4-6) did a flipchart brainstorm for20 minutes on this subject, then 10 minutes to decide their top 3 items as single words. Then all words from the six table are grouped (to avoid duplicates and overlaps), and every participant was given 3 voting spots to put on any of the chosen words. Here are the results

Rank, value, and votes (approx 38 people from services across BC plus a few from policy and commissioning roles)
