To do this, we need to spend time looking at what we have, and then try different approaches to generating wealth from those strengths and assets. That’s innovation. Rethink – Expanding our horizons, opening our minds to different options and new opportunities, and to what a new natural resource economy could, can, and will look like. Recreate – Coming up with the ideas and actions that could create a new natural resource economy. Reinvent – Trying out the ideas and actions, learning from what was tried, and trying again, until we are successful. For more information on SNCIRE, visit their website at www.sncire.ca. NSIS and SNCIRE are currently looking at ways to host a follow-up to this forum, to be held sometime in spring 2010.NSIS Access to Capital Program GOING GREEN - How can Terrace Become a Green Community?
