Wise chops are focused, high impact initiatives designed to significantly advance our strategic goals.
For 2024-27, we are taking nine wise chops in two broad areas – Sector Development and Workforce Development. For more details on each of the nine initiatives see the complete Wise Chops document here.
CreativePEI is funded in whole or in part by the Canada/Prince Edward Island Labour Market Agreements.
We acknowledge that the land on which we operate is the traditional unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq Peoples. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. We recognize that true reconciliation is an ongoing process. Acknowledging territory and First Peoples should take place within the larger context of genuine and ongoing work to forge real understanding, and to challenge the legacies of colonialism.
