IDEAS: Powered by Passion (2010–2017) was a monthly series featuring a speaker from a community organization, a musical guest, and a keynote. Collectively, the stories given expression on the IDEAS stage over its seven years contributed to the unearthing of a shared, creative, and courageous Cape Breton narrative. IDEAS Powered by Passion events are free and open to the public.
Spaces like these are invaluable to the processes of community conversation, development, and visioning. They begin to allow us to see that leaders, agents of community change, and inspired lives are all around us every day. The vibrant stories shared at IDEAS — and in the hours, days, and weeks afterwards — are stories of individuals, organizations, and communities forging their own paths, solving entrenched community problems, encountering unprecedented success, and inspiring the rest of us to do the same.

We wish to recognize and honour this understanding of the lands on which we reside. It is from here, on these lands, that we work to create and support a culture of self-reliance and vibrancy.
