Welcome, Naomi.
We were just discussing the Salt Spring Island dollar at our Community Currency planning meeting today. You have made a good start on the island to built some resilience, and we both have a long way to go.
Let us know how we can help you, inspire you, and also learn from you. Feel free to visit us as well.
We need to all work together in Transition so that no one is left behind.
