ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • Couchiching’s approach to economic development is that without revenue generation we cannot do what we need to do for our community. • Social issues including an ongoing drug and violence problem requires us to develop or adopt and implement innovative solutions with a focus on long-term success. • We have a beautiful bay that is only truly shared with our neighbours at Mitaanjigamiing First Nation – it could be an almost private area for recreation and cottage development. • We have a lot of very capable entrepreneurs • We have a number of skilled workers • But, we have limited capital to invest C a n d o Inspiring Success

CHALLENGES • Some Councillors still want to decide everything • Our land claims cost us a lot of money but seen as an investment for the future • Our Board of Directors are all entrepreneurial, business owners or Consultants with a lot of education/training (but they are busy too) • How to prioritize all that we want to do? • Divisions and jealousy • Lack of work ethic • “Just do it” and the importance of due diligence • Cost of Advisors and Experts (and their travel) C a n d o Inspiring Success
