Elizabeth van Dreunen is a single mother and a community activist who has recently graduated with an MA in Recreation and Leisure Studies from the University of Waterloo. She believes that if communities were divided into neighborhoods comprised of approximately 100 households each, more social interaction would occur amongst neighbors. Her long term vision is to help establish neighborhoods where interdependence is encouraged, leadership is rotated, responsibility for the success of the neighborhood is shared by all, and all decisions relating to the neighborhood are made on a consensual basis.
