CHARLOTTETOWN – March 10, 2017 – The PEI and Canadian economy is rapidly changing to become greener and more viable and sustainable.

RDÉE Prince Edward Island, the provincial francophone economic development council, has hired Think Forward Solutions (Mathieu Arsenault) to manage a survey to better understand the state of the developing green economy on PEI and to identify potential employment opportunities in this sector.

« The green economy is comprised of all businesses and organizations that take any action with the intention of reducing resource consumption, harmful emissions and forms of environmental impact, » explains Arsenault.

The survey, which will take between four and nine minutes to complete, is aimed at all Island businesses and organizations, both Anglophone and Francophone. The deadline to complete the survey is March 31, 2017.
