Editorial...
Whatever the issue, community is the answer
|
On Thursday, April 11, I attended the Teeny Tiny Summit - Unlocking Community Development in Small Places, at the Orono Arena and Community Centre.
Keynote speaker Peter Kenyon was inspiring. For over 25 years, Kenyon has been helping communities spark their own ideas and invest in themselves to build a sustainable future. |
This was very timely. Very shortly the Orono Economic Development Strategy will be finalized and delivered to the Orono Downtown Business Improvement.
Kenyon began with saying, “A healthy economy and healthy community must be on the same side of the coin. You can’t have one without the other. The greatest asset of any community, is simply people who care.” This is one asset our community has in abundance. Read the complete editorial in this week's Issue.
