Expanding Community Wealth: Re-localizing Strong Economies for Prince Edward Island
November 22, 2018 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Public Talk: Localizing procurement power from institutions: proven to plug leaks in the economy
A 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.
Join us for this public talk on re-localizing community wealth through ‘Import Replacement’, which is the process of plugging economic leaks in the economy. Specifically, we will explore a process that redirects spending from public-sector anchor institutions for greater local procurement.
Free and open to the public.
