Join the Conversation Shaping Bowen Island’s Circular Economy
The Community Economic Development Committee (CEDC) invites local business owners to the Bowen Island Municipality Business Summit: a dynamic evening of insight, inspiration, and connection!
Date: Wednesday, November 19, 2025
Time: 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Location: Bowen Island Community Centre
This year’s theme, “Building a Circular Economy,” explores how local businesses can thrive by reducing waste, reusing resources, collaborating, and further adopting sustainable values right here in our community.
We’re thrilled to welcome City of Nanaimo Councillor Ben Geselbracht as our keynote speaker, sharing his experience in advancing circular economy initiatives that drive innovation and community resilience. We are also excited to welcome back Bowen Island’s own Chris Corrigan, Facilitator of Strategic Conversations, who will guide us through an interactive World Cafe session.
Enjoy an evening of meaningful discussion, networking, drinks, hearty appetizers, and an Indian inspired dinner in the Bowen Theatre and Community Living Room as we come together to shape a sustainable economic future for Bowen Island.
This event is free of charge for all local Bowen Island businesses and is intended to honour and hear from all that attend. Please register early, as space is strictly limited.
