Genuine Wealth Project

The Leduc-Nisku EDA's Genuine Wealth Project is the first of its kind in Canada to develop a new, comprehensive system of measuring and managing the total wealth of the community as a tool for developing a genuine economy of well-being. The three goals of the project were to inventory attitudes of citizens towards their quality of life, identify the strengths and weaknesses of the community and use the results of the project to help in municipal governance and decision making.
