  • Toward a More Resilient Salt Spring 24
    toward a more resilient Salt Spring 2014 Report & 2015 Action Plan SSI Community Economic Development Commission Introductory message On behalf of the Community Economic Development Commission (CEDC), a heartfelt thank you to the many individuals and organizations on Salt Spring and beyond who partnered with the CEDC in our endeavours over the last two years. Our appreciation also, to those who contributed to our planning process by taking time to attend meetings and offer suggestions and criticisms. The 2015 Action Plan is built on our experience and the valuable information we have received from many different sources. While it focuses on actions in 2015, the Plan also identifies longer term goals. The actions we believe are practical and realistic; the scope is ambitious given the limited resources of the Commission. The strong support the Commission has received makes me optimistic that by working together Salt Springers will achieve the goals in the Plan and open doors to many more opportunities. My two years as CEDC chair have been challenging and rewarding. I am grateful to the Commissioners, the CRD staff and the community for their support, encouragement and willingness to consider new approaches to old problems.
