Membership

As rural Islanders, we face complex and challenging issues that threaten the continued economic health and well-being of our communities. And we know that no single island can become resilient alone.

RIEP is passionate about keeping the islands vibrant and thriving by facilitating a respectful network of rural island communities within the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples, where we live and work.

Our network of creative artists, entrepreneurs, micro-enterprises, small businesses, and community organizations share information, support each other, and jointly advocate for policies and programs to ensure resilient and sustainable rural island economies. If you've been to our Forum or Connection Cafe events, you know we have a good time doing it!

Take advantage of these unique programs and services, and add your voice and skillset to our passionate community.

RIEP Supporters Speak:

“One of the key benefits of the Forum was networking and shared knowledge. I would expect that will continue to be the benefit I will derive from membership, as well as being connected to a rural island focused network.”
 
"RIEP understands that island life and islanders approach things differently. Each island has unique qualities, characters and ecologies but our values overlap. RIEP will be invited to the table to represent rural island values, challenges, and desires. The unified voice will have a greater impact."
 
"Standing together for strength in numbers to address common issues and problems."
