Success Through Partnership
In response to the dramatic economic impact of Covid-19 and its fallout on rural islands that have economies reliant on arts, services, and tourism, RIEP acted quickly to organize an effective economic recovery campaign.
Visitors to islandcomeback.ca can purchase gift certificates or donate to over 160 participating businesses spanning the entire region. The website is updated constantly with exciting new ventures under the Island COMEBACK banner coming soon.
This RIEP Initiative is another manifestation of the power of acting regionally to benefit members locally.
