100 Community Conversations
How can we generate wealth, promote social equity, and protect our environment?
Are you weary of polarized debates about BC’s economy? SFU Public Square wants to include you in a meaningful and productive conversation about our province’s economic future.
100 Community Conversations provides an opportunity for British Columbians to explore and exchange ideas on the future of BC’s economy. These conversations will gather residents’ ideas and perspectives on the issues and strategies required to move BC’s economy forward. The results will inform a daylong deliberative dialogue with key stakeholders on October 4th during SFU Public Square’s 2013 Community Summit.
Anyone with a group of interested participants is invited to host a Community Conversation!
