Paradise needs a re-think
Hornby Island is set to host the Housing Solutions for Small Communities conference on April 11th-13th, 2007. Its a community of under 1000 residents on the Northern Gulf of BC, Canada, mainly American draft dodgers from the Vietnam War. The island’s primary source of income is tourism , with its population quadrupling in the summer. Healthy for the economy – but not for the island’s natural resources.
