An evolving best practice that I see is we need people to actually go to the communities. How many people have actually been to the communities with 95% unemployment? How is the work going with their local municipality? Are they involved in economic development planning with their local municipality?
The other thing that is high on my radar is bringing entrepreneurs into the communities. These could be people from China or Germany, or they could be local entrepreneurs from here in British Columbia. We need to get them to bring their business acumen into the communities. It might not be a local resource development opportunity but something in digital literacy. It might be a franchise opportunity. What we need is to shift the culture towards innovation to see what people can do with the resources and assets available locally.
