Empowering Community Through Skill-Building Workshops at Local Livelihoods

At Local Livelihoods Institute, the mission is clear: to empower the community through skill-building workshops. Situated on Salt Spring Island in BC, Canada, Local Livelihoods is a beacon of support for sustainable local livelihoods, offering a range of workshops in welding, timber framing, and hide tanning.

These workshops not only provide valuable hands-on experience but also serve as a platform for individuals to learn new skills and connect with like-minded members of the community. By equipping individuals with the tools they need to thrive in traditional trades, Local Livelihoods is helping to preserve and promote these important crafts for future generations.

In addition to workshops, Local Livelihoods also provides resources and support for those living on the southern Gulf Islands. Whether you're looking to hone your existing skills or embark on a new career path, Local Livelihoods has something to offer for everyone. The institute's website serves as a central hub for information on upcoming workshops, relevant resources, and a space for community dialogue.

As Local Livelihoods continues to grow and expand its offerings, the possibility of adding a forum to the website is on the horizon. This forum would provide community members with a platform to engage in discussions, share tips and tricks, and further support each other in their pursuit of sustainable livelihoods.

With a focus on sustainability and a commitment to empowering the community, Local Livelihoods is paving the way for a brighter future on the Gulf Islands. By fostering a culture of learning, collaboration, and skill-building, Local Livelihoods is not just a place for workshops—it's a catalyst for positive change in the community.
