It’s very exciting to hear that the folks who are currently working on the development of open money in Powell River, BC are making some real progress. They recently sent on the following information:
The PR Peak covered the Chamber of Commerce lunch where PR$ were discussed in the May 30 paper:

When asked, the Chamber treasurer, Cory Carr, wrote this press release:

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY: Proponents of the Powell River Dollar, [from left] Kevin Wilson, Sean Melrose and Rob Higgin, explained the concept at a Powell River Chamber of Commerce lunch last week.
That press release appeared in Sustainable Coast online magazine:

Many thanks to Kevin Wilson and all the others investing time and energy into making this alternative to a failing economic a reality, rather than a possibility.
