Community Symposium
Held on Saturday, March 25th, 2023 at PECI, community members gathered for a day of building connections and exploring new approaches for developing our community.
The symposium was guided by the question:
How do we reach our goal to INSPIRE, CONNECT and CATALYZE our collective vision for Prince Edward County?
Knowledge Sharing
It was a chance for community members to gather for a day of building connections and exploring new approaches for developing our community.
