Well-being economy. Can you tell me a little bit more about this? Well, it's an economy that looks at more than economics. There is actually a definition that's been put forward by the Wellbeing Alliance, which is an economy designed to serve people and planet, not the other way around.
How can municipal policies shape the wellbeing of a community? In this episode of MuniCast, host Stephanie chats with three insightful guests who have dedicated their careers to answering this very question. University of Regina researcher Iryna Khovrenkov, Tracy Mann from the Community Initiatives Fund, and Ingrid Cazakoff from Heritage Saskatchewan come together to discuss the Wellbeing in Policy project.
This project, based on a comprehensive survey across Saskatchewan municipalities, delves into crucial aspects like mental health, culture, municipal economics, and environmental wellbeing. The conversation offers a rich tapestry of insights into how these elements intertwine with municipal planning and budgeting. If you're curious about how local governance can impact the quality of life in your community, this episode is a must-listen.
From practical advice to innovative strategies, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the importance of a holistic approach to policymaking and the pivotal role municipalities play in fostering community wellbeing.
