5. Economic Development Strengths: a relaxed lifestyle, world-class natural attractions, favourable real estate prices and a lively, engaged community Weaknesses: gaps in infrastructure and services, a small population, an undiversified industrial base and ineffective, uncoordinated marketing

6. Things we could do Develop a clear community brand and image using key messages: – Pender’s clean natural environment within reach of the Lower Mainland – world-class attractions such as Princess Louisa and the Skookumchuck – a vibrant arts scene and interesting history

7. Things we could do Build a better online presence with a focus on community brand messages Implement a clearly-signed hiking and walkway network Improve public access to lakes and ocean Improve directional and information signage, especially on main roads and at the community entrances
