Claire Ryan is on the board of FUSION Saint John, and was recently selected by 21inc as one of the province's top young leaders. She says the key is giving people not just jobs, but a sense of place.

She says she already sees it happening and with the success of networking groups like Fusion, Saint John will recapture some upward momentum in the uptown area.
