Vancouver Island’s economy is in uncharted territory. Business owners and professionals are grappling with the fallout of the COVID-19 crisis as they battle to survive. We’ve talked to leaders about how they’re coping and feeling about this extraordinary time in our history and shared their perspectives with you (read HERE).
We wanted to do more, so we embarked on a community partnership with Vancouver Island’s locally owned, independent television station, CHEK TV, to share and explore those stories, challenges, and opportunities.
The series focused on understanding the challenge, learning what it teaches us, and finding ways to not only survive it, but thrive when it has passed. We’d like to thank our featured guests for the series, listed below.
