Sustainable and Resilient Livelihoods
in the Gulf Islands
A Community Economic Development and Advocacy Organization
Sharing sustainable skills and advocating for place-based ways of living and thriving
Welcome to Local Livelihoods, a community economic development organization advocating for sustainable local livelihoods, and fostering place-based skill-building.
Sustainable economic resilience arises naturally and in wonderful ways when good regulations support the creativity of a skilled community.

Ground Truthing Enforcement
What questions should a survey on experiences with bylaw enforcement ask residents?
We are gearing up to "ground truth" enforcement by surveying residents about their experiences.
To start, we are soliciting questions from you--residents of the Southern Gulf Islands.
What would you like to know about how bylaw enforcement works on the ground?
Your questions can be with regard to either the Islands Trust or the CRD (Capital Regional District), or both.
Once we've received your questions we'll combine them into a survey for residents in the SGI.

The health of our communities and environment depends on the sustainability of our local livelihoods.
