community · November 7-8, 2019 · Poet’s Cove, South Pender Island

The Rural Islands Economic Forum (RIEF) was held November 7-8, 2019, at Poet’s Cove on South Pender Island. The forum focused on advancing local and regional economic resilience and community economic health for rural islands, with representatives from multiple islands and indigenous communities attending.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
