Outline  Introduction  Community Development

 1) Introduction

Historically  Natural resources maintained local economies  Required many labourers  Communities were ‘centres’ to local hinterlands  Provincial government invested in these communities –Services –Facilities –Amenities  Disrupted after 1980

A New Game Now  Pressures since:  International trade agreements  Trade globalization  Low cost production regions  Resource industries are concentrating  Technology is labour-shedding –Job losses –Limited wage benefits remain

At Issue:  Challenge –Small town and community change –Fast pace of globalization  Opportunity –Building resilient communities based on local assets, actions & aspirations

 Question –How to equip communities to exercise place-based advantages & meet development opportunities & challenges on own terms?

 2) Community Development

Answer: Focus on Community Readiness  Understanding the role / position of your region in the world  Grounding strategies in a realistic, in- depth analysis of our local & regional assets and aspirations  Focus more on long-term implementation of vision

Community Development Foundations  The ability of communities to identify aspirations & organize assets and resources to achieve their objectives  Increasing the skills, knowledge & abilities to access/use information & resources  Create strategies & partnerships to take advantage of changing circumstances  A long-term, sustainable vision that facilitates community well-being, quality-of-life & resilience

Keys to Innovation  Create a broad community development platform as a foundation for seizing opportunities

Community Assets: Land & People

Place-Based Development   A place-based economy demands much more of local capacity   Accommodates new relationships, partnerships, collaboration & wider inclusion   Competitive variables: – –Traditional: Infrastructure, production, location, economic structure & amenities – –Newer: Social capital, innovation & institutions

CD & Economic Development   Rebundle community assets   Reimagine community aspirations   Reinvestments in local social, economic & cultural infrastructure   From resource dependence to a diversified economy grounded in resources & inclusive of other options

In Practice: Interdependent & Mutually Supportive The Community Development Institute at UNBC
