Rural Islands Economic Partnership
Cultivating Resilient Partnerships
Tues Nov 14 • 6 - 8 PM • Zoom • FREE
Members of the RIEP community, alongside our 2023 Resolution Working Group participants, will engage in lively discussions focused on the resources and support needed to build rural island community resilience on critical issues affecting all British Columbians.
You’re invited to connect with current Working Groups: Climate Adaptation, Housing Now, and Economic Strength, to learn about their progress... and to join in on the conversations. You can also help form two new Working Groups - Food Security & Travel as a Force for Good.
As with many RIEP initiatives, this Connection Café is about action - finding ways to leverage individual successes and address common challenges, all with the intent of making commitments to realize islands values together.
The idea that one person can make a difference in this world is embodied by RIEP, our programs, and our Resolutions Working Groups. You too can be part of the change you want to see in the world, simply by showing up!
Join us for the Connection Café, November 14, 6-8 PM.
Learn and engage with RIEP'S Resolution Working Groups, and make a difference through your passion, your presence, and your voice.

The Rural Islands Economic Partnership Society (RIEP) of British Columbia (BC) is a thriving alliance of diverse settler and Indigenous rural island communities sustained through shared values and a united voice for achieving social, economic, and cultural well-being; environmental stewardship; and collaborative strength on behalf of BC’s rural islands.
Working with respect on the traditional territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations and Hul'quimi'num Treaty Group,
whose historical relationship with the land continues to this day.
