WHAT WE DO
Connect
The Shorefast Institute brings together economic actors from communities, governments, and markets to develop, refine, and expand place-based approaches.
Through structured learning exchanges, in-person convenings, and an online curriculum and network, places across Canada work together to create economic momentum for more people in more places.
Shorenet
Shorenet is the Shorefast Institute's network and learning platform advancing place-based economic stewardship in places across Canada.
Shorenet Communities
Each year, the Shorefast Institute partners closely with a range of communities from across the country to share and distill practices for place-based economic development and stewardship.
"Shorefast’s Community Economies Pilot was a ground-up approach to learning how community economies are organized, the challenges they share, and the common ways of collectively creating action to overcome barriers and rise to meet opportunities.”
- Emilie de Rosenroll, Founding CEO of South Island Prosperity Partnership
Community Economies
"The Pilot helped us catalyze ‘THRIVE Prince Edward County’, a community-led process of discovery and planning for the socio-economic future of our community.”
- Brian Beiles, President, The County Foundation
