Aaron Emery
Founder of 'For the Region'
- Aaron Emery is championing a new project called For the Region.
- For the Region is a citizen led movement rapidly rethinking economic development in Atlantic Canada.
- For too long, the overwhelming narrative of the Atlantic region has been one of decline where our young people leave for greener pastures out west or down south, meanwhile those who remain tend to be older individuals who strain things like our healthcare system draining our tax dollars.
- Aaron believes it doesn’t have to be this way and sees the Atlantic region as a place of great promise for work/life balance entrepreneurs.
