The County of Prince Edward is proud to host an upcoming Teeny Tiny Summit on Thursday, May 1, 2025 at the Crystal Palace in Picton.
The theme for this year’s summit is “Engage and Energize – Empowering Teeny Tiny Places.” We hope you can join us for an exciting day spent with passionate, like-minded folks that will both inspire and energize you.
We will welcome Peter Kenyon as a keynote speaker. Mr. Kenyon is a renowned social capitalist and community enthusiast from Bank of I.D.E.A.S. in Australia. Over the last four decades, he has worked with more than 2,000 communities throughout Australia and overseas to facilitate fresh and creative ways that stimulate community and local economic renewal. He is motivated by the desire to create healthy, caring, inclusive, connected, sustainable and enterprising communities and local economies.
Following the keynote address, participants will break into small groups to engage with each other in facilitated discussions around key rural community issues.
