Dear Friend.
 |
|
Our January 12th Rural Roundtable was attended by people from
all over PEI.
|
Please join us for our second Rural Roundtable forum on
February 3rd at
6:30pm - this time on the topic of "All things
Land".?
Our first Rural Roundtable had nearly 80 participants from all over
PEI, including representatives from key rural stakeholder groups
including agriculture, fisheries, non-profits, environmental groups,
municipalities, business and economic development, and much more.
Land use planning came up as an issue at several of the forum
"tables", and was by far the top issue that participants said they
wanted to discuss further, so we decided to hold a Rural Roundtable
specifically dedicated to "All things Land". Depending on the
interests of the participants, this can include such topics as:
- Rural and urban land-use planning
- Land ownership
- Land conservation and stewardship
- Watershed stewardship
- Climate change adaptation planning
- Indigenous land claims and title
What is the Rural Roundtable series of
forums?
Rural Roundtables are designed to
start conversations with and among Islanders about the future of rural
Prince Edward Island.?
We're looking to the knowledge,
experience and imagination of rural Islanders to help create a vision
of prosperity, resilience and vitality in rural Prince Edward Island.
What we talk about, and what you tell us, during the Roundtables will
help shape Green Party of PEI policies and our next platform, and will
help inform the work of the Green Official Opposition
Caucus.?
While these are taking place online
for the time being, we hope to be able to also organize in-person
regional Rural Roundtables when circumstances allow.
Who can participate in these discussions?
Everyone is welcome - you do not
need to be a Green Party member or even supporter to participate. We
want to hear from you regardless of your political leanings and get as
many perspectives in the room as possible.?
Please help us get the word out! There are only so many people we can reach
directly to advertise these Rural Roundtables, so we greatly
appreciate it if you could pass this invitation along to others who
you think should be part of this conversation.?
We hope you can join the conversation!
