What the paper says
The Collaborative Environmental Planning Initiative (CEPI) is a one-of-a-kind organization in Unama’ki-Cape Breton. Fittingly, it was brought together through the vision and dedication of Charlie Dennis who was searching for a way to turn around the ecological health of the Bras d’Or Lakes or Pitupaq in Mi’kmaq, an inland estuary in the heart of Cape Breton. This essay will describe the events leading to the founding of CEPI and outline its first seven years of growth as it struggled with its identity.
