Collaboration is Key

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 10:43:20 -0800

What I learned in the past year and a half is that it hasn’t been an easy accomplishment. Instead of forming partnerships, the 2010 Olympics Games have helped in creating an even bigger gap. Communities are competing for every little piece of 2010 business.

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 10:35:14 -0800

Some people may think support is a given when involved in economic development.

While some people may wonder why Pemberton is supporting Jamaican athletes while Canadians also require support, others are thinking of a bigger picture in relation to the economic crisis.

An Uncertain World

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 10:05:49 -0800

Gearing up for the future in an uncertain world. The world and governments are gearing up for the worst; in some parts of this world it’s worse than in others. Talking to friends in England, Germany and Spain, the news are very disturbing. For example, England lost 10,000 jobs in one day. In comparison, Canada lost over 100,000 jobs in the past few months and B.C. expects to lose 40,000 in 2009.
