Nelson Before Nine: Interview with Laurie Cordell

by Jennifer Nichols, posted on 9:10 AM, November 17, 2010

Listen to a lively discussion with Laurie Cordell about sustainability planning on the Nelson community radio show, Nelson Before Nine. In the interview (available here) Laurie brought the Smart Planning process to life with examples of how communities around BC are benefiting from innovative planning.

"I really believe a sustainability plan can help a community focus and provide a framework for all of their different tasks they are undertaking," Laurie explained on the show, "it can help them keep their plans streamlined and heading in the same direction."

Where We Work

We are grateful to live and work on the unceded ancestral territories of the Indigenous Nations of British Columbia.
