Do You Accept the New Comox Valley Currency? You Should!

I've recently joined up with a local group called Community Way that has developed a local currency. This is a terrific initiative that I think everybody in the Comox Valley should learn about. Not only does it strengthen the local economy by encouraging consumers to buy locally, but it helps raise real Canadian cash for local non-profits.

If you're a business, I strongly encourage you to sign up. (I should add here that I have no affiliation with Community Way other than as a participating business)

When you sign up, a donation of Community Way dollars is made to a local charity, and then they can take the initiative to get individuals to make Canadian dollar donations in return for Community Way dollars. So the charity ends up with Canadian dollars for their works, the individual gets great value back in return for a donation, and business owners get more business because they participate in the program.

Sooner or later our fossil-fuel lifestyle bubble is going to burst, and when it does we're going to be thankful that we encouraged our local producers and businesses. Driving down to Wal Mart to buy cheap goods shipped from China simply won't be an option.
