Transition Bay St Margarets is working on two separate potential local currencies
Bay Bucks – This currency is intended to circulate among the businesses and residents of St Margarets Bay, and is modeled after the Berkshare, one of the most successful local currencies in the world today – operating in Western Massachusetts.

Carats – Launched this summer, this currency is designed to help market and home gardeners pay for the help that they need to get the gardening work done. Rather than pay Canadian dollars, a gardener can pay their help in Carats, which are redeemable in vegetables. Click the link to see the project brief: Carats BRIEF
