A Portrait of the Territory Driving Innovation for a Stronger Future : A Depiction of the Coasters Association on the Lower North Shore, an Overview of the Region, a Breakdown of Each Community Profile and the Way Forward From Here

What makes for a good quality of life varies from one community to another. This report presents some of the latest statistical measures that have been identified as important to the Lower North Shore. It explores issues like population decline, the economy and our social structures. This document was prepared for the Community Wellbeing Initiative (CWI). It provides a snapshot of the current state of wellbeing on the Lower North Shore based on selected indicators. Along with other measurements, these indicators form a baseline in which the success of the CWI can be assessed. They show where we are making progress, where we are falling behind, and what we can do - both as a region and as individuals - to improve quality of life.
