Island COMEBACK

July 8, 2019 By rba983

Together we can make a COMEBACK...

Keep the island vibe alive...

Salt Spring Island has joined a pandemic economic response and recovery initiative called Island COMBACK. The initiative has been developed to help offset the losses from Covid-19. Participating businesses and community organizations can sign up for free.

Island COMEBACK is both a people-first, e-commerce site designed to promote and sell island created non-perishable and durable goods and services, and a donation platform allowing Salt Spring community groups and organizations to receive funds to assist with their immediate needs. It calls upon our local community, and the world, to support the recovery of our rural island culture, and economy by purchasing a gift certificate, making a donation or by doing both.

 

Become a resilient regenerator...

Island businesses and organizations can sign up and register for free to generate immediate funds. Those who benefit, include small sector businesses, artisans, craft food and beverage makers, farmers, restaurants, and wellness providers, as well as community service organizations. Businesses can also accept donations if there is a current need, while also offering gift certificates if they choose.

This response and recovery initiative has been developed and sponsored by the Rural Islands Economic Partnership (RIEP) along with rural island partners. RIEP’s long-term mission is to build economic resiliency for BC’s rural islands and to “keep the island vibe alive.”

The rural islands of BC participating in Island COMEBACK include Salt Spring, Bowen, Cormorant, Cortes, Denman, Gabriola, Galiano, Gambier, Hornby, Lasqueti, Malcolm, Mayne, Pender, Quadra, Saturna, Pender, Texada, Thetis, including Broughton Archipelago, as well as Indigenous communities with traditional or reserve lands on these islands.
