Community-Based Responsible Visitation Plan for Bowen Island
Congratulations to Tourism Bowen Island! After months of community engagement including focus groups and interviews, the Intervistas Consulting team has completed the Community-Based Responsible Visitation Plan for Bowen Island. The comprehensive plan presents four strategic goals and over 50 initiatives aimed at balancing the island’s tourism ecosystem with residents’ way of life.
Thank you for participating in the creation of Bowen’s Community Economic Development Plan
In a Committee of the Whole meeting on November 8, 2021 (watch on YouTube), Hill & Knowlton Strategies presented the draft Community Economic Development Plan, developed over the past two years with extensive community engagement. The plan identifies six economic sectors as key areas of focus and three cross-cutting priorities that intersect with each area. Seven steps are discussed in a path to implementation. The Committee of the Whole recommended that the Community Economic Development Committee report back to Council on how to proceed with implementation.
We’d like to thank everyone who participated in the development of the plan, including Bowen Island residents, businesses and community members, the Community Economic Development Committee and the Working Group made up of staff and committee members, and of course our consultant team from Hill & Knowlton Strategies. See more on the CED Plan process in the tabs at bottom of this page.
