Building Local Economies and Communities that Do Good to Do Well
Laura Koza, Elly Green & Nicole Norris, Georgian College
Imagine for a moment, a future where we have collectively found the perfect balance between caring for our environment, social equality and economic prosperity allowing all members of our community to thrive. It may have required us to take different perspectives on local economic development, challenge how we measure value in our community, and re-discover practical wisdom about regional resource management. Join us in a curated conversation about the work that is being done through the various community level initiatives at Georgian’s Centre for Changemaking and Social Innovation to answer the question – how might we co-design flourishing economies and communities in our region?
