Abstract
The negative impact of macroeconomics and conventional economic practices on the well being of Canadian rural communities is reviewed and critically analyzed. Community-based economic development (CBED) is proposed as an alternative economic development strategy. CBED is also proposed as a strategy for sustainable development and for primary prevention. A successful case study is examined and useful principles of implementation based on first-hand experience and knowledge of the literature are presented.Keywords
