merging lanes

Meet me at the intersection of Culture and tourism and I’ll take you for coffee.
Beanz is where I usually go; it’s on University Avenue, every morning around 10:00AM.
Beanz is a great place to get the news, debate politics, and talk business. That’s why I go, those of you who know me know I love to talk but I especially love to listen.
Every morning without fail I am approached by business owners, people in business as well as those seeking employment, our community. The conversation is always the same, what can we do to create activity, business and jobs here on our island.
I ask? Who are we and what do we have to offer.
UPEI, Holland College, The College of Piping, The Atlantic Veterinary College all of these bring jobs students and economic stability to our community.
Learning vacations focusing on the cultural sector will bring commerce to our island over a twelve month period. We have a fabulous environment in which to offer learning vacations this is a product that is salable; we have all the parts let’s put them together.
All for now Kier
