Community Money Blog Open For Business!

After a brief hiatus, the community money blog is up and running as promised. At our workshop, we broke the surface and Huron County (and North Perth) now has a number of Community Currency Specialists to its credit. Great. Where to from here?

Ideally, I want to help build on what is already happening in Wingham, and think about how the other towns and communities in the county might benefit from local exchange circuits. More to the point, I want to use this space to pool ideas on how to get them in place. Since I was first introduced to the concept, I studied community money with my hometown of Goderich in mind. How will people relate economically if the town's supply of federal dollars is drastically cut? How can we support the surrounding agricultural community and have a positive impact on the natural environment?

Post your thoughts here!
