Transition Sooke contributes to development of Community Economic Development Strategy

As a non-profit organization, Transition Sooke completed a survey to assist in the development of Sooke’s Community Economic Development Strategy. The Strategy was released at the end of September 2021 and a number of members of Transition Sooke including members of the Local Economy Working Group, submitted comments. We eagerly await the next draft.

Here are the answers to the survey questions.
