SUMMARY:Future Proofing Our Communities
DESCRIPTION:Most rural communities in Atlantic Canada are in decline\, and programs to address these issues have been marginally effective. The Centre for Local Prosperity is working with a number of communities in Atlantic Canada to inspire community-led efforts towards ‘full spectrum sustainability’\, which works across all aspects of a community’s social fabric and economy.  This approach develops powerful intra-community networks\, where success stories in one community can be taught to another with mutual support. \nRobert Cervelli\, Executive Director\, Centre for Local Prosperity will be leading a discussion on this community-led model at the Mahone Bay Centre\, 45 School St\, Mahone Bay.  The presentation will begin about 12:45\, after a 12:00 noon luncheon.  The event is by invitation only\, and there is a $20.00 fee. There will be a cash bar.  All profits will be donated to charity.  Please contact Jack (jack.schoon@gmail.com) or Linda (lindamaryloth@gmail.com) if you wish to attend.

SUMMARY:Re-localizing Prosperity in Rural Atlantic Canada
DESCRIPTION:Due to the forces of globalization\, our economies today can be described as leaky buckets.  Nova Scotia has a 35% ‘leakage rate’ of dollars flowing out of the economy\, resulting in a dramatic negative trade deficit. \nRobert Cervelli\, Executive Director\, Centre for Local Prosperity will present “Re-Localizing Prosperity in Rural Atlantic Canada”.  Working alongside community groups\, businesses and governments\, the Centre for Local Prosperity encourages communities to move towards an economy scaled for their size and with local agency for their economic future.  His presentation will address the need to ‘re-localize’ rural economies\, reduce ‘economic leakage\,’ and explore initiatives for greater local procurement by major public-sector anchor institutions such as schools and hospitals. \nFree – Registration is not required.

SUMMARY:Expanding Community Wealth: Relocalizing Strong Economies for Prince Edward Island
DESCRIPTION:A Working Session on local institutional procurement. \nA study released by the Centre for Local Prosperity in January 2018 showed that 44% of the dollars generated in the Island economy leak away to somewhere else. \nJoin us for this working session on re-localizing community wealth through ‘Import Replacement’\, which is the process of plugging economic leaks in the economy.  Specifically\, we will explore the implementation of an economic development strategy that redirects spending from public-sector anchor institutions for greater local procurement.  The session will build upon the ‘Preston Model‘ which has proven to rebuild and grow economies in several towns in England.\n \nRegistration and refreshments: 8:30am \nWorking Session:  9:00am – 12:00 noon \nFree and open to the public.  \nFor more information contact:  info@centreforlocalprosperity.ca \nor the Institute for Bioregional Studies: ibs_pei@yahoo.com

SUMMARY:Re-Localizing Prosperity in Rural Atlantic Canada
DESCRIPTION:Robert Cervelli will present “Re-Localizing Prosperity in Rural Atlantic Canada”. Import replacement is a leading edge local economic development strategy that seeks to produce locally those goods and services that are currently imported into a community or region\, as a way to keep money and wealth circulating in the region – ‘producing within the community for the community.’  This strategy has been proven to ‘plug the leaks’ which drain most economies over time. Robert Cervelli\, Executive Director\, Centre for Local Prosperity\, will speak about the need to ‘re-localize’ rural economies\, and about their initiatives in the region for greater local procurement by the major public-sector anchor institutions such as schools and hospitals.

SUMMARY:Expanding Community Wealth through Import Replacement: Local Institutional Procurement
DESCRIPTION:An import replacement strategy seeks to replace imported goods and services through local production.  Import replacement keeps money in the community. A key starting point is utilizing the procurement power of local public-sector anchor institutions for greater local procurement – spending a greater portion of their budgets back into the local economy. \nThe Centre for Local Prosperity has structured this public information and planning session as a kick-off event for a multi-year strategy to develop the economic potential of import replacement across Shelburne County\, with a focus on greater local procurement from public-sector anchor institutions.
