§         Communication is challenged by the size and diversity of the southern interior region.  SIBAC invites all interested parties to take part in helping to shape actions that encourage diversification and growth of the region’s economy.  SIBAC will be looking for organizations and communities to assist in hosting public information and exchange meetings in early 2008.  At these forums SIBAC will provide a summary of the analysis reports presently underway.  Stakeholder recommendations and opinions are key in guiding the development of SIBAC’s Strategic Plan scheduled for completion in 2008. 

§         SIBAC encourages all stakeholders to participate in the analysis projects underway and/or planned.
