Connection Cafe – 2023 RIEP Forum Resolutions
This event is now over. Registration is closed.
On April 27th, the hosts and participants of the 2023 RIEP Forum came away from the 3-day 'unconference' with a set of statements which were seen to meet the shared ideals of economic, ecological and social justice— ‘resolutions’ —and could support many of the values expressed by Doughnut Economics.
The Forum Resolutions also aligned with the Rural Islands Values Framework, the outcome of the 2022 Virtual RIEP Forum, which proposed a roadmap for realizing rural island “values in action":
- Creating Resilient Local Economies
- Ensuring Basic Needs & Services
- Fostering Connections To Build Community
- Taking Collaborative Action
Because of what these resolutions represent in their intentions and potential for both RIEP and BC's rural islands, we hosted a Connection Cafe on June 8, 2023 to introduce the 2023 Forum Resolutions to RIEP members and Forum attendees who may have missed them, in order to carry them forward into volunteer-driven Resolutions Working Groups.

- Francine Carlin, RIEP Chair and interim Executive Director
- Colin Stein, RIEP Communications and Engagement
Break-Out Room Facilitators & Topics
- Mike Hoebel, RIEP Board Vice Chair - Rural Housing Policy
- Marjorie Giroux, RIEP Board member - Climate Adaptation & Mitigation
