indicators for<br />
the Columbia-Basin<br />
Boundary.<br />
“RDI is continuing<br />
to provide<br />
research<br />
on well-being<br />
to support evidence-based<br />
decision making<br />
across the<br />
Columbia<br />
Basin-Boundary,”<br />
says Dr.<br />
Adela Tesarek<br />
Kincaid, Rural<br />
Development<br />
Institute lead<br />
researcher at<br />
Selkirk College. “The suite of<br />
State of the Basin research initiatives<br />
will continue to assist<br />
local communities by providing<br />
relevant and reliable data.”<br />
The check-up is important to<br />
residents, organizations, businesses<br />
and local governments to<br />
understand present conditions<br />
and trends.<br />
The data in the<br />
report informs<br />
decision making<br />
that shapes<br />
the future of<br />
the communities<br />
in the<br />
region.<br />
Some examples<br />
of the<br />
data in the<br />
2019 Snapshot<br />
Report<br />
includes:<br />
• Population projections to<br />
2041 show a decrease in population<br />
for those under the age of<br />
64, while the population over<br />
65 is projected to grow by 40%.<br />
• There were 729 business<br />
starts in the region in 2018 and<br />
a 3.4% job vacancy rate.<br />
• The 2018 forest fire season<br />
resulted in 151 fires that<br />
burned 72,856 hectares within<br />
our region.<br />
• There are more than 180<br />
annual festivals or special<br />
events within the Columbia-<br />
Basin Boundary.<br />
The 2019 Snapshot Report is<br />
part of the State of the Basin<br />
Initiative that monitors and<br />
reports on indicators of social,<br />
economic, cultural and environmental<br />
well-being in the<br />
Columbia-Basin Boundary.<br />
The initiative helps inform<br />
citizens and organizations<br />
through access to accurate,<br />
credible and timely information;<br />
encourage understanding<br />
of complex issues; signal<br />
areas to celebrate achievements<br />
or identify challenges; and<br />
motivate discussion, information<br />
sharing and collaborative<br />
actions.<br />
