A new business enhancement program for Louise Waste Management Corp is now being initiated. This 21st century waste management model is recognised as major potential area of job growth and revenue generator for this area. New innovative systems are being examined with the emphasis on research and government funding assistance modelling intended to provide significant NEW resources to enhance this modern facility.
This facility is unique in rural Southern Manitoba and reflects the progressive planning of all the area councils in waste management practices and environmentally sustainable planning.
Alberta Project
After highlighting the decline of the population in our rural community (see
Demographics), we believe that attracting people from other provinces like
Alberta or British Columbia could be a good way to reinforce our community
populations and to help it to survive. Communicating the advantages
(advertising, website development) to live and enjoy the natural environment
should be the key of our success. Numerous opportunities are available for
interested new residents (houses, jobs and all kind of services) as incentives
to live here.

The Harvest Moon Society represents a group of people from the region
including students and academics from the University of Manitoba, who
want to develop and promote local activities, local foods and
sustainable lifestyles for “Healthy Land, Healthy Communities”
(
www.harvestmoonsociety.org ). Louise Community Development Corporation provided support from the beginning (concept support, business plan..) because we are convinced that the concept sounds in advance of it’s time. |

Global Horizons
This project consists of the creation for assisted living
accommodation for seniors and flats to accommodate foreign students. The Global
Horizons project is a large one and beneficial for the entire region. The idea
is on one hand to facilitate and encourage the welcoming of foreign students in
our Prairie Spirit Schools (
www.prairiespirit.mb.ca
), develop partnerships with foreign
countries, and bring new fresh, thinking in our communities as well.
