Project Overview

Prince Edward Island is one of eastern Canada's maritime provinces, off the coasts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in the Gulf of the St. Lawrence River. In 2010 Future iQ started work on a long term future planning process with over 250 local citizens. The planning process highlighted a number of important perspectives to be considered when planning for the future of this island. These included:

• A strong focus on local self-sufficiency and sustainability with a desire for the Island to coalesce as a strong community that develops its networks, approaches and models for local empowerment, community engagement and the building of a culture of self-determination.
• The reputation and obvious charm of the natural landscape, and the potential to further harness this natural resource base with innovative approaches to value adding; renewable energy projects, food self-sufficiency and tourism.
