We hear so often that there is strength in numbers.  That’s the philosophy behind “Teeny Tiny Summits” dealing with economic development. There’s one coming to Matheson on April 8th.

John Regan (REE’ghin) is CAO and economic development director for Black River-Matheson Township.  He says the summits were started by the provincial rural affairs ministry.  The aim is to pool ideas and projects among small municipalities that don’t have huge economic development budgets.

 “And looking for opportunities to bring communities and like-minded people together to help build better quality of life, better quality of place, and looking for ideas on how do we inspire economic development.”

Begun in 2015, this is the first Teeny Tiny Summit to come to the north.

 

BECOME A WARRIOR OF ECONOMIC CHANGE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY
AND OUR REGION.

 

 

Peter Kenyon, renowned Australian community development expert, will be visiting Ontario once again, building on the two Teeny Tiny Summits he delivered in 2017. Peter is a dynamic and inspiring speaker on rural economic development.

" An opportunity to share ideas on economic development to help build a better quality of place for small communities."

Is this your community?
• Rural location
• Population < 1000
• Stable declining population
• No dominant drivers of economic growth
• No paid Ec Dev staff
If so, we invite you to the Teeny Tiny Summit.
Attendees will include municipal councillors and staff, support organizations and volunteers. The strong and energetic response to Teeny Tiny Summits demonstrates the resources and engagement received is well worth the trade off in time invested!
