“In the face of the tariff flip-flopping and economic uncertainty with our southern neighbours, the South Island Prosperity Partnership (SIPP), Greater Victoria’s economic alliance, has announced a new task force.
The Rising Economy Taskforce 2.0 will bring leaders across the region together in response to threats from the U.S. administration and to address Greater Victoria’s economic vulnerabilities. SIPP’s first Rising Economy Taskforce was established in April 2020 in response to the financial repercussions of COVID-19.
“The Rising Economy Taskforce proved its value during the pandemic by uniting our community and driving actionable solutions,” said Aaron Stone, CEO of SIPP. “With new threats on the horizon, including a hostile Trump administration and global economic instability, it’s essential that we come together again to shore up our vulnerabilities and ensure our residents’ incomes are protected.”
