Rural communities are facing an affordability crisis, as concentrated ownership, attacks on labour, the climate crisis, and racial and economic injustice ramp up. We are seeing our key food, energy, and housing systems being consolidated by for-profit corporations. Many people are losing faith in democratic institutions, and we are becoming increasingly isolated from each other and promising local initiatives often lack the time and resources to thrive.

At the Centre for Local Prosperity we know there are other proven strategies with higher community reward, such as import replacement and local procurement. Through our research, we have show that 40% of our money leaves our economy - let&#039;s start there.\n\nA large project can generate enormous economic activity without generating much lasting community wealth.\n\nIf what if Resource Development gets the green light:\n\u2022 Some projects won&#039;t pass the environmental and social test and shouldn&#039;t proceed. \u2022 The ones that do, we should become much more ambitious about what we expect.\n\u2022 We should ask not only how many jobs are created or how much capital is invested, but how much ownership, business capacity and

locally driven economies, where local people have more control over their communities. This means developing solutions to push back against corporate consolidation, and invest in community-rooted systems. There is no more obvious place to witness this consolidation than in our food system. \n\nCanada\u2019s brand new National Food Security Strategy shows how serious this has become: &quot;A small number of large companies control a huge proportion of the market\u201d and \u201cmake it harder for small and medium sized businesses to compete.\u201d \n\nThe strategy reports that:\n\ud83d\ude2e only 7% of food and beverage processing establishments are medium-sized. \n\ud83d\udca5 2 firms control roughly 85% to 90% of federally inspected beef slaughter\n\ud83d\ude31 4 firms controlled 70% of hog processing in 2019\n\ud83d\udcb0\ufe0f 5 major companies account for at least 75% of the grocery retail sales, following 15 mergers since 1986 that reduced the number of major grocers down to 5. \n\nCorporate concentration has contributed directly to the lack of resilience in Canada\u2019s food system. The federal food security strategy says as much: when processing, distribution, and retail are controlled by a small number of firms, a disruption at one company can affect supply and drive up prices across the country.\n\nRead our statement in our bio about how the federal government\u2019s largest new food financing tool is designed around the scale, cashflow certainty, and access to private capital that favour established corporate players. \n\n\ud83d\udea9 \ud83d\udea9 This approach risks using public money to deepen the vulnerability the strategy is supposed to address.\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_carousel sbi_new sbi_transition\" role=\"listitem\"\n\tid=\"sbi_18137482291627023\" data-date=\"1789740793\">\n\t<div class=\"sbi_photo_wrap\">\n\t\t<a class=\"sbi_photo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ddbn4qcHB65\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"\n\t\t\tdata-full-res=\"https:\/\/scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.82787-15\/815734360_18094757087396143_7050870898908461491_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&#038;_nc_cat=105&#038;ccb=7-5&#038;_nc_sid=18de74&#038;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&#038;_nc_ohc=Gku_e286CSQQ7kNvwFeiboZ&#038;_nc_oc=AdpMXUM2mSSvmXn6yAa4GYRS3drgiF4RF1pSlna5HrOvT06_jsUv2P1ZV98xddGidEk&#038;_nc_zt=23&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&#038;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&#038;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQJYZsDXMFCtGancvUmSWeKxIV50dSH0JwOStzPVkoMSy0NNDXZozLRu07KgTZFwFBnjq7la54ahTw&#038;oh=00_AQOsiVmZSlfvO1zt4hfPiEF2QYQ93LTLf51tJrZ98seUCQ&#038;oe=6AC71193\"\n\t\t\tdata-img-src-set=\"{&quot;d&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/815734360_18094757087396143_7050870898908461491_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=Gku_e286CSQQ7kNvwFeiboZ&amp;_nc_oc=AdpMXUM2mSSvmXn6yAa4GYRS3drgiF4RF1pSlna5HrOvT06_jsUv2P1ZV98xddGidEk&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQJYZsDXMFCtGancvUmSWeKxIV50dSH0JwOStzPVkoMSy0NNDXZozLRu07KgTZFwFBnjq7la54ahTw&amp;oh=00_AQOsiVmZSlfvO1zt4hfPiEF2QYQ93LTLf51tJrZ98seUCQ&amp;oe=6AC71193&quot;,&quot;150&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/815734360_18094757087396143_7050870898908461491_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=Gku_e286CSQQ7kNvwFeiboZ&amp;_nc_oc=AdpMXUM2mSSvmXn6yAa4GYRS3drgiF4RF1pSlna5HrOvT06_jsUv2P1ZV98xddGidEk&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQJYZsDXMFCtGancvUmSWeKxIV50dSH0JwOStzPVkoMSy0NNDXZozLRu07KgTZFwFBnjq7la54ahTw&amp;oh=00_AQOsiVmZSlfvO1zt4hfPiEF2QYQ93LTLf51tJrZ98seUCQ&amp;oe=6AC71193&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/815734360_18094757087396143_7050870898908461491_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=Gku_e286CSQQ7kNvwFeiboZ&amp;_nc_oc=AdpMXUM2mSSvmXn6yAa4GYRS3drgiF4RF1pSlna5HrOvT06_jsUv2P1ZV98xddGidEk&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQJYZsDXMFCtGancvUmSWeKxIV50dSH0JwOStzPVkoMSy0NNDXZozLRu07KgTZFwFBnjq7la54ahTw&amp;oh=00_AQOsiVmZSlfvO1zt4hfPiEF2QYQ93LTLf51tJrZ98seUCQ&amp;oe=6AC71193&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/815734360_18094757087396143_7050870898908461491_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=Gku_e286CSQQ7kNvwFeiboZ&amp;_nc_oc=AdpMXUM2mSSvmXn6yAa4GYRS3drgiF4RF1pSlna5HrOvT06_jsUv2P1ZV98xddGidEk&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQJYZsDXMFCtGancvUmSWeKxIV50dSH0JwOStzPVkoMSy0NNDXZozLRu07KgTZFwFBnjq7la54ahTw&amp;oh=00_AQOsiVmZSlfvO1zt4hfPiEF2QYQ93LTLf51tJrZ98seUCQ&amp;oe=6AC71193&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sbi-screenreader\">Imagining a better future isn&#039;t naive &#8211;

But Urgency Is Not a Strategy. \ud83d\udd0e \n\nYou might have seen that The Canada Investment Summit took place this week in Toronto, hosted by Prime Minster Mark Carney. The worlds largest investors were invited to present projects they deem worthy of investing in, with an ambition to catalyse $1 trillion in investment over the next five years. 167 projects spanning energy, mining, manufacturing, technology, transportation and infrastructure were put forward.  The projects proposed were all across Canada, including a handful in the Atlantic Provinces. \n\nBut before governments decide which projects to champion, we should first ask a broader question: is this really the best approach to building long term community prosperity?\n\n\u2753\ufe0f What are the implications of these projects on land, water and ecosystems?\n\u2753\ufe0f Should we be chasing private capital? Where will the profits go?\n\u2753\ufe0f Will these projects strengthen communities or impose unacceptable costs on them? \n\u2753\ufe0f When the initial construction boom is over, what will Canadians still own?\n\nIn our full statement, our executive director Andy Horsnell unpacks what we should be looking for when we are determining if a major project should go forward, and if it does, how do we make sure the benefits are captured by local communities. \n\nOur view, is that urgency should raise the standard, not lower it.\n\ud83d\udd0d\ufe0f Read more: https:\/\/centreforlocalprosperity.ca\/canada-needs-investment-but-urgency-is-not-a-strategy\/\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition\" role=\"listitem\"\n\tid=\"sbi_18370137370208145\" data-date=\"1789236427\">\n\t<div class=\"sbi_photo_wrap\">\n\t\t<a class=\"sbi_photo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DdMl4caoKGt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"\n\t\t\tdata-full-res=\"https:\/\/scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.82787-15\/806987388_18094161752396143_8407171621595087690_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&#038;_nc_cat=105&#038;ccb=7-5&#038;_nc_sid=18de74&#038;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&#038;_nc_ohc=B9XV9wMuT5MQ7kNvwHf6CZh&#038;_nc_oc=AdowfJ5K4vgQS_w7nBlOr5fBDuUswKzr2_G-60-yv4huyxBhyUvJEaUhP6mH7wFIznY&#038;_nc_zt=23&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&#038;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&#038;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQICqT4zfLDm06lGeFXqW_RffbDRA5YuLS47x610sRU2fWFi9yU9dybH86AfplhhG6msxGxbl5i52w&#038;oh=00_AQP5UT0zxTJ2Q1mt4O88hUmhVsmyB2ArxydOAdscqxsCVw&#038;oe=6AC704BD\"\n\t\t\tdata-img-src-set=\"{&quot;d&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/806987388_18094161752396143_8407171621595087690_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=B9XV9wMuT5MQ7kNvwHf6CZh&amp;_nc_oc=AdowfJ5K4vgQS_w7nBlOr5fBDuUswKzr2_G-60-yv4huyxBhyUvJEaUhP6mH7wFIznY&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQICqT4zfLDm06lGeFXqW_RffbDRA5YuLS47x610sRU2fWFi9yU9dybH86AfplhhG6msxGxbl5i52w&amp;oh=00_AQP5UT0zxTJ2Q1mt4O88hUmhVsmyB2ArxydOAdscqxsCVw&amp;oe=6AC704BD&quot;,&quot;150&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/806987388_18094161752396143_8407171621595087690_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=B9XV9wMuT5MQ7kNvwHf6CZh&amp;_nc_oc=AdowfJ5K4vgQS_w7nBlOr5fBDuUswKzr2_G-60-yv4huyxBhyUvJEaUhP6mH7wFIznY&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQICqT4zfLDm06lGeFXqW_RffbDRA5YuLS47x610sRU2fWFi9yU9dybH86AfplhhG6msxGxbl5i52w&amp;oh=00_AQP5UT0zxTJ2Q1mt4O88hUmhVsmyB2ArxydOAdscqxsCVw&amp;oe=6AC704BD&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/806987388_18094161752396143_8407171621595087690_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=B9XV9wMuT5MQ7kNvwHf6CZh&amp;_nc_oc=AdowfJ5K4vgQS_w7nBlOr5fBDuUswKzr2_G-60-yv4huyxBhyUvJEaUhP6mH7wFIznY&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQICqT4zfLDm06lGeFXqW_RffbDRA5YuLS47x610sRU2fWFi9yU9dybH86AfplhhG6msxGxbl5i52w&amp;oh=00_AQP5UT0zxTJ2Q1mt4O88hUmhVsmyB2ArxydOAdscqxsCVw&amp;oe=6AC704BD&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/806987388_18094161752396143_8407171621595087690_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=B9XV9wMuT5MQ7kNvwHf6CZh&amp;_nc_oc=AdowfJ5K4vgQS_w7nBlOr5fBDuUswKzr2_G-60-yv4huyxBhyUvJEaUhP6mH7wFIznY&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQICqT4zfLDm06lGeFXqW_RffbDRA5YuLS47x610sRU2fWFi9yU9dybH86AfplhhG6msxGxbl5i52w&amp;oh=00_AQP5UT0zxTJ2Q1mt4O88hUmhVsmyB2ArxydOAdscqxsCVw&amp;oe=6AC704BD&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sbi-screenreader\">&quot;Prosperity is measured by healthy families, thriv<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centreforlocalprosperity.ca\/wp-content\/plugins\/instagram-feed\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"&quot;Prosperity is measured by healthy families, thriving cultures, meaningful work, strong communities.&quot;\n\nAt Local Prosperity 2026 Our Keynote Speaker Chris Googoo spoke about Building Community Wealth the Indigenous Way.

The question is: How much of that money is staying in our communities?\n\n\ud83d\udc49\ufe0f In our report \u201cAssessing the potential for local procurement as an economic engine.\u201d We show that institutions in Atlantic Canada are recognizing the enormous monetary power in their purchasing decisions. \n\nWhere anchor institutions spend their money can have a dramatic impact on local employment and business growth. Even a 10% shift to local suppliers can be very meaningful to local communities and their economies.\n\nThis is because locally-owned businesses tend to purchase their goods and services locally. This means they can generate higher multiplier effects than non-local businesses. When you prioritize local vendors, you increase local capacity, and keep money recirculating in our communities.\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition\" role=\"listitem\"\n\tid=\"sbi_17998123277805356\" data-date=\"1788444787\">\n\t<div class=\"sbi_photo_wrap\">\n\t\t<a class=\"sbi_photo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Dc0_8uEoMz8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"\n\t\t\tdata-full-res=\"https:\/\/scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.82787-15\/792766237_18093222389396143_1545036582728666000_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&#038;_nc_cat=108&#038;ccb=7-5&#038;_nc_sid=18de74&#038;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&#038;_nc_ohc=A5O-opbCx8YQ7kNvwFj-a8D&#038;_nc_oc=AdpDSl1n9w3n2CTxhIsqhg1dgEbcg9zAvRwRCSS_aazVz683VhvTClsjJVkLTOvEep4&#038;_nc_zt=23&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&#038;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&#038;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQLlQaWOSL4ujqQJZGy_yfJDa_be-o2U8yrYOWob2waBQQVkv-L1Kc2pQVwlS-672-gHGRSbzSIs0A&#038;oh=00_AQOW0jJWXiDIBWhPlYUOfjt50_nd_xm0yIlwK7QmOsYSRg&#038;oe=6AC712A9\"\n\t\t\tdata-img-src-set=\"{&quot;d&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/792766237_18093222389396143_1545036582728666000_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=108&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=A5O-opbCx8YQ7kNvwFj-a8D&amp;_nc_oc=AdpDSl1n9w3n2CTxhIsqhg1dgEbcg9zAvRwRCSS_aazVz683VhvTClsjJVkLTOvEep4&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQLlQaWOSL4ujqQJZGy_yfJDa_be-o2U8yrYOWob2waBQQVkv-L1Kc2pQVwlS-672-gHGRSbzSIs0A&amp;oh=00_AQOW0jJWXiDIBWhPlYUOfjt50_nd_xm0yIlwK7QmOsYSRg&amp;oe=6AC712A9&quot;,&quot;150&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/792766237_18093222389396143_1545036582728666000_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=108&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=A5O-opbCx8YQ7kNvwFj-a8D&amp;_nc_oc=AdpDSl1n9w3n2CTxhIsqhg1dgEbcg9zAvRwRCSS_aazVz683VhvTClsjJVkLTOvEep4&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQLlQaWOSL4ujqQJZGy_yfJDa_be-o2U8yrYOWob2waBQQVkv-L1Kc2pQVwlS-672-gHGRSbzSIs0A&amp;oh=00_AQOW0jJWXiDIBWhPlYUOfjt50_nd_xm0yIlwK7QmOsYSRg&amp;oe=6AC712A9&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/792766237_18093222389396143_1545036582728666000_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=108&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=A5O-opbCx8YQ7kNvwFj-a8D&amp;_nc_oc=AdpDSl1n9w3n2CTxhIsqhg1dgEbcg9zAvRwRCSS_aazVz683VhvTClsjJVkLTOvEep4&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQLlQaWOSL4ujqQJZGy_yfJDa_be-o2U8yrYOWob2waBQQVkv-L1Kc2pQVwlS-672-gHGRSbzSIs0A&amp;oh=00_AQOW0jJWXiDIBWhPlYUOfjt50_nd_xm0yIlwK7QmOsYSRg&amp;oe=6AC712A9&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/792766237_18093222389396143_1545036582728666000_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=108&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=A5O-opbCx8YQ7kNvwFj-a8D&amp;_nc_oc=AdpDSl1n9w3n2CTxhIsqhg1dgEbcg9zAvRwRCSS_aazVz683VhvTClsjJVkLTOvEep4&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQLlQaWOSL4ujqQJZGy_yfJDa_be-o2U8yrYOWob2waBQQVkv-L1Kc2pQVwlS-672-gHGRSbzSIs0A&amp;oh=00_AQOW0jJWXiDIBWhPlYUOfjt50_nd_xm0yIlwK7QmOsYSRg&amp;oe=6AC712A9&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sbi-screenreader\">Highlights from Local Prosperity 2026: RYSEN\u2019s You<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centreforlocalprosperity.ca\/wp-content\/plugins\/instagram-feed\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Highlights from Local Prosperity 2026:\nRYSEN\u2019s Youth Roundtable. &quot;Make Impact Your 9 to 5: How are Young People Making a Living by Making a Difference?&quot;\n\nWitnessing youth leadership should be foundational to community gatherings. Stronger youth involvement means a stronger future for our economies and communities. \ud83d\udc9b \n\nWe heard from Shirley Chibuoke, Sophia Rae, Seth Gledhill, Tyler Lohnes-McNutt, alongside co-moderators Lillian Luff and Kirsten Lawrence, as they shared how they\u2019re making a living by making a difference.\n\nThese speakers challenged us to think about what is means to be a leader beyond age or position. They demonstrated that leadership looks like empathy, curiosity, vulnerability, and figuring out who you are, so you can lead with your values.\n\nRYSEN (Rural Youth Social Enterprise Network) and Launchbox helped to identify: \n1. There are gaps in the system preventing youth from recognizing and identifying opportunities. \n2. Mentors need to be curious about youth. \n3. Entrepreneurship programming needs funding. \n4. Collaborative opportunities are instrumental to building intergenerational economies.\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_carousel sbi_new

participants, 30 workshops, 3 keynote presentations, 12 musical performances, community-led events, and countless connections made! \n\nThe seeds of transformation are being planted across Atlantic Canada, and it&#039;s clear that when we come together, we have the people, resources, audacity, and courage to create system-wide economic democracy that works for our communities. \n\nThe 2026 Local Prosperity Conference and Festival took place from August 6-9th in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia. It was organized by the Centre for Local Prosperity, and co-hosted with the Rural Communities Foundation of Nova Scotia, and the North Shore Community Connections Society. \n\nThis event brought together a wide range of people with the goal of making economic democracy a tangible, accessible, and easy to engage with concept. The Local Prosperity program integrated this concept through workshops, keynote talks and featured panels, skill sharing sessions, community tours, youth programming, and of course music, dancing, and food. \n\nParticipants learned: how to get involved in local community, actions that can be taken at a local level to become less reliant on globalization, how other groups throughout Atlantic Canada are taking back control of their local economies, and the impact policies can have at a local level to create more equitable and sustainable communities.\"

where neighbours come together to fix broken everyday objects. These grassroots projects are popping up all over in Atlantic Canada, with the goal of reducing waste, overconsumptions, and planned obsolescence. Repair Cafes are more than just a place to get your objects fixed, you can build skills, meet people in your neighbourhood, and gain the confidence to repair things in your home. \n\nCome hear from three community repair cafe coordinators who can provide insights into how to host one of these in your community, building partnerships, challenges to look out for, and what unexpected joys come from this community initiative. \n\nLet\u2019s help kickstart the Repair Cafe Movement! Maybe you have something you don\u2019t want to get rid of and you need some help fixing it, maybe you\u2019ve been to a repair cafe and you\u2019re looking to start one in your community, or maybe you just want to learn more about the right to repair, either way, this webinar is for you!\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition\" role=\"listitem\"\n\tid=\"sbi_18190616713372240\" data-date=\"1780682826\">\n\t<div class=\"sbi_photo_wrap\">\n\t\t<a class=\"sbi_photo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZNrLxMlNQQ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"\n\t\t\tdata-full-res=\"https:\/\/scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.82787-15\/714323188_18083897360396143_4744873431754955364_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&#038;_nc_cat=108&#038;ccb=7-5&#038;_nc_sid=18de74&#038;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&#038;_nc_ohc=L3gYAGClMYcQ7kNvwF8rebu&#038;_nc_oc=Adratm9LfocUYIw06iy2fbHbf96Uk9fpLIajsSlWQLpGcnMKhNKIFG_c1fIdEvsTvRQ&#038;_nc_zt=23&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&#038;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&#038;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQKaqEutBa-14hFZ-06g04ZRxc8M7ISohTjVA6TcCxcSpBEVhBcW9PYOTG7e77YhDJgAHLL-uHNJew&#038;oh=00_AQPjpOMJN5ystAHp4tNv-7MCoVXTZAkpI5beiqMohPD5Nw&#038;oe=6AC6F697\"\n\t\t\tdata-img-src-set=\"{&quot;d&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/714323188_18083897360396143_4744873431754955364_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=108&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=L3gYAGClMYcQ7kNvwF8rebu&amp;_nc_oc=Adratm9LfocUYIw06iy2fbHbf96Uk9fpLIajsSlWQLpGcnMKhNKIFG_c1fIdEvsTvRQ&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQKaqEutBa-14hFZ-06g04ZRxc8M7ISohTjVA6TcCxcSpBEVhBcW9PYOTG7e77YhDJgAHLL-uHNJew&amp;oh=00_AQPjpOMJN5ystAHp4tNv-7MCoVXTZAkpI5beiqMohPD5Nw&amp;oe=6AC6F697&quot;,&quot;150&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/714323188_18083897360396143_4744873431754955364_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=108&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=L3gYAGClMYcQ7kNvwF8rebu&amp;_nc_oc=Adratm9LfocUYIw06iy2fbHbf96Uk9fpLIajsSlWQLpGcnMKhNKIFG_c1fIdEvsTvRQ&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQKaqEutBa-14hFZ-06g04ZRxc8M7ISohTjVA6TcCxcSpBEVhBcW9PYOTG7e77YhDJgAHLL-uHNJew&amp;oh=00_AQPjpOMJN5ystAHp4tNv-7MCoVXTZAkpI5beiqMohPD5Nw&amp;oe=6AC6F697&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/714323188_18083897360396143_4744873431754955364_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=108&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=L3gYAGClMYcQ7kNvwF8rebu&amp;_nc_oc=Adratm9LfocUYIw06iy2fbHbf96Uk9fpLIajsSlWQLpGcnMKhNKIFG_c1fIdEvsTvRQ&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQKaqEutBa-14hFZ-06g04ZRxc8M7ISohTjVA6TcCxcSpBEVhBcW9PYOTG7e77YhDJgAHLL-uHNJew&amp;oh=00_AQPjpOMJN5ystAHp4tNv-7MCoVXTZAkpI5beiqMohPD5Nw&amp;oe=6AC6F697&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/714323188_18083897360396143_4744873431754955364_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=108&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=L3gYAGClMYcQ7kNvwF8rebu&amp;_nc_oc=Adratm9LfocUYIw06iy2fbHbf96Uk9fpLIajsSlWQLpGcnMKhNKIFG_c1fIdEvsTvRQ&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=WRD3q5OiK4wVVr351pu7ZA&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQKaqEutBa-14hFZ-06g04ZRxc8M7ISohTjVA6TcCxcSpBEVhBcW9PYOTG7e77YhDJgAHLL-uHNJew&amp;oh=00_AQPjpOMJN5ystAHp4tNv-7MCoVXTZAkpI5beiqMohPD5Nw&amp;oe=6AC6F697&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sbi-screenreader\">Local Prosperity 2026: local people, local solutio<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centreforlocalprosperity.ca\/wp-content\/plugins\/instagram-feed\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Local Prosperity 2026: local people, local solutions\nAugust 6-9th in Tatamagouche, NS. \nGet your tickets today! \ud83c\udf9f\ufe0f https:\/\/localprosperity.ca\/ \n\nThis gathering is a conference\/festival hybrid focused on re-localization, community wealth building, and place-based economics. \n\nCome join us to learn and share how communities can invest in themselves. \n\nLocal Prosperity is designed as a practical, hopeful space for place-based, community-led responses that aim for durable, systemic change rather than one-off projects.

While we might all use different language and terminology, many of us are pointing towards the same horizon: a community-rooted food system. \n\nThis means our processors , growers, eaters, businesses, community groups, organizations, researchers, and governments are working together.\n\nThis means building a food system that works for us. A community-rooted food system that prioritizes our ecosystems and our farmers, stops wealth from leaving our communities, and transition our food system into something more fair, more local, and more resilient. \n\n\ud83d\udc49\ufe0f Fill out our survey: bit.ly\/atlanticfoodsurvey to participate in shaping this movement in Atlantic Canada. \n\ud83d\udd0d\ufe0f Read more here or the link in bio:
