What is BALLE? BALLE stands for Business Alliance for Local Living Economies. It is an international movement in which local, independently-owned businesses are working together to build sustainable and vibrant communities. Why is BALLE the fastest growing business movement in North America? Because the time for dynamic local economies is right now! We believe in the power of local independent businesses to transform communities, build local self-reliance, align commerce with the common good, and bring transparency, accountability, and a caring human face to the marketplace. How did the BALLE movement come to Nova Scotia? The genesis of BALLE Nova Scotia was The Power of Green conference held by the Province in October 2007, when the founder of the international BALLE movement, Judy Wicks, gave the keynote speech. Inspired by her message, a delegation of leaders from business and government in Nova Scotia attended the annual BALLE conference in Boston in June 2008, and returned with a commitment to create BALLE Nova Scotia. With seed funding from the provincial government and the Community Foundation of Nova Scotia, BALLE Nova Scotia is poised to take flight in 2009. BALLE Nova Scotia joins 60 local networks representing 20,000 entrepreneurs in the U.S. We are proud to be at the forefront of the BALLE movement in Canada.
