A "Sense Of Place" Is SJ's Best Resource

As part of this week's feature on the future of Saint John...one young professional is urging the next generation to building on the traditions of the past...

Claire Ryan is on the board of FUSION Saint John, and was recently selected by 21inc as one of the province's top young leaders. She says the key is giving people not just jobs, but a sense of place.

Ryan tells CHSJ News the future depends on growing a diverse community of people to work together on Saint John's socioeconomic problems.

She says she already sees it happening and with the success of networking groups like Fusion, Saint John will recapture some upward momentum in the uptown area. 

Listen to CHSJ News tomorrow as our feature on the Future of Saint John continues.
