Our Partners

The Shorefast Institute works with a broad range of organizational, academic, and community partners committed to place-based economies.

"Real stewardship is recognizing that our roles and responsibilities within a community are ever evolving. To truly meet the needs of our communities—we must persuade markets, governments, and communities alike to place 'place' at the centre of every decision. Recruiting everyone into this mindset is how we accelerate meaningful change."

— John Taylor, Mayor of the Town of Newmarket, ON
