As the year comes to a close, the South Island Prosperity Partnership (SIPP) has been appealing to local municipalities, outlining why its model is effective at supporting the region’s economy. “Our vision is to build a region where innovators and entrepreneurs thrive alongside local shopkeepers, where Indigenous and non-Indigenous people co-create prosperity, where young people and families have access to good jobs that enable them to afford to build their futures here, and where economic uncertainty is met with conviction, capability, collaboration and care,” said SIPP CEO Aaron Stone in a presentation to North Saanich council on Dec. 1.
