Welcome to Stories from the Coast, Island Coastal Economic Trust’s newsletter.
We invest in coastal communities to build a resilient economy that strengthens wellbeing for everyone and the environment. Through our newsletter and on our website, we share impactful economic development stories and exciting project announcements from across our region – from the Salish Sea to Cape Caution – delivered straight to your inbox. Occasionally, we’ll also update you on major initiatives or special projects.
Below, you’ll find a sample of what to expect, but before you dive in, we want to express how grateful we are that you’ve joined us.

We are inspired by collaboration and innovation that our project partners demonstrate, successfully strengthening wellbeing across our region for all people and the environment. In this edition, we dive into the Dock+ and its anchor tenants who are helping to reshape Vancouver Island’s food production landscape.
As always, we want to hear from you! Reach out to share your stories about what’s happening in your communities, so we can continue to share what’s happening from the Salish Sea to Cape Caution.

We have two regularly scheduled emails, Stories from the Coast and News From the Coast. Both are shared bimonthly, and share community based stories; however, their themes differ.
Stories from the Coast focuses on our Impact Stories. These narratives look beyond the numbers to reveal the wellbeing impact behind our project investments. They showcase stories of community resilience, new employment opportunities, and the spirit that drives our coastal communities forward. In these newsletters, we also share community-centred stories published in newspapers, magazines, websites, or podcasts.
News from the Coast summarizes our news releases and project investments across the coast. In these newsletters, we also share important economic development or project-focused news across the region that is published online.
In addition to these two emails, we also share individual announcements unveiling major initiatives, Trust-specific news, or other exciting project investments across the coast.
