The alliance of 21 business organizations and industry associations, known as the Partnership for Growth, is inviting the public to provide feedback on the newly drafted 2021-26 economic action plan. The deadline for feedback is Nov. 2, 2020.
To date, the partnership has consulted with more than 200 stakeholders, including industry representatives from various sectors, stages of business and geographic areas; business, industry and community organizations; post-secondary institutions and youth; First Nations and francophone communities; and municipal, provincial and federal governments.
The partnership highlights five guiding principles in its action plan that will guide decisions to build a more sustainable, resilient P.E.I. economy. These include fostering a robust and diverse economy, providing opportunities for a diverse population, building stronger connections between urban and rural areas, demonstrating leadership in sustainability and resilience and taking a long-term view towards planning.
The partnership plans to finalize the economic action plan 2021-26 over the next two months with a formal launch in early 2021.
