The Economics of Happiness comes to Colwood on Vancouver Island.
The ‘happiness’ meetings which took place November 12, 2009 in Colwood, B.C. came into being when people from the Community Social Planning Council of Greater Victoria came together with folks from Colwood Community Place. Their common interest in the messages within Mark Anielski’s book, “The Economics of Happiness”, provided a timely platform for broadening the dialogue, and bringing people together to focus further public commentary on the issues that matter most in our world, and ways we can adapt the planning and support systems we live by to create a more promising future.
The day kicked off with the Community Happiness Roundtable at Colwood City Hall. The 90-minute invitational session for researchers and community development leaders drew 26 attendees from across the Capital Regional District, and was followed by Colwood 2010 and Beyond, an invitational working lunch session with representatives from all levels of government, businesses, community organizations and the media, which drew over 50 attendees. The dynamic day wrapped up at Royal Roads University with the Economics of Happiness Forum, a public session for people passionate about community and corporate social responsibility, learners and families looking for a meaningful roadmap to a sustainable future.
