Report:
Community Economies Pilot
Friday, October 28th, we welcomed Dr. Audrey Jamal & Rebecca Gordon from the Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics at University of Guelph.
Driven by the question “how do we strengthen community economies?” the report explores how community voices and perspectives at the planning table can include a diverse set of perspectives and ideas to shape the community’s economic future.
The researchers presented their initail report findings for the Community Economies Pilot Project + Prince Edward County.
A fuller report will be available early 2023, which will support Thrive PEC in the development of a Community Economic Action Plan.
