Fundy Connects Summit
Building a Resilient Region: Join us for the 4th Fundy Connects Summit
The strength of our region is found in our landscape and our people. From the rolling Fundy Foothills to our coastal communities, our local economy relies on our collective ability to care for the places we love while supporting the people who work here.
On April 23 and 24, the Kings Regional Service Commission and our partners in the Fundy Partnership are hosting the 4th Fundy Connects Summit at Poley Mountain Resort.
Why this matters for our region
This is more than a meeting; it is a dedicated working space for municipalities, business owners, and community leaders to align our efforts. This year, our focus is on Workforce Resilience. We are exploring how we can attract and retain the people our region needs by strengthening livelihoods and building long-term community wellbeing.
When we work together across municipal boundaries, we ensure that rural support remains urban support, creating a region where every community can thrive.
What we are working on
Participants will receive updates and contribute to the next steps of the Fundy Coast & Fundy Foothills Destination Development & Stewardship Strategy, including:
- Sustainability in Action: Practical steps through the GreenStep program.
- Regional Identity: Strengthening our “Sense of Place” through the For the Love of Fundy Pledge and new storytelling platforms like Driftscape.
- Supporting our Workers: Aligning workforce needs through jPrep and the evolution of our Community Welcome Centres.
- The Shorefast Collaboration: We are honoured to welcome the Shorefast Institute for Place-Based Economies. They will facilitate a series of conversations on “Economic Nutrition” and share a special announcement regarding our regional partnership.
