2013 Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation Conference

Rural Canada ~ Ready to Grow

The 2013 Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation (CRRF) annual conference will be held in Thunder Bay, Ontario, October 24th-27th, 2013. The conference is being co-hosted by Lakehead University, the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association (NOMA), and the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation (NAN).

Rural Canada is in a constant state of flux, reflective of and responding to political and economic changes at the regional to global levels. In recent years, many rural areas in more northern and remote portions of the country have begun to experience positive changes in their regional economies due to resource developments of various kinds. In this sense, these are rural areas ready to grow. With growth however, come questions related to value-added regional development, resource management, governance and co-governance of resources at local/regional levels and with Aboriginal (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) people.

If rural Canada is going to be ready to grow, the following questions become critical:

 -How do we ensure that some of the benefits of the natural resource industries remain where the resource is extracted?

 -What policies and practices need to be in place to ensure that there is a real and lasting positive legacy?

 -What governance structures will best ensure positive outcome for those residing in these regions?

 -What are the social ramifications of resource development and how can we mitigate those that are negative and build strong, resilient communities?

The aim of the conference is to develop the tools to start answering these questions.

The conference will also include an opportunity for paper and poster presentations. Researchers, policy makers, and community leaders are encouraged to submit a presentation abstract on rural or northern issues.  A call for abstracts will be announced shortly.  For more details visit www.crrf.ca

CRRF is a charitable institution committed to bettering the lives of rural Canadians.


 

Sustainable Rural Community Development: A Comparative Study of Canada and Australia

Free Webinar
Monday April 1, 2013 

Canadian and Australian rural communities have much in common. They are located in federations similar in structure and function with provinces / states having considerable authority over rural places. Governments are often challenged to provide equitable services to all places, especially in rural communities. Yet these communities continue to survive often facing the most challenging demographic, economic and environmental circumstances. In a comparative research study, Professor John Martin (Centre for Sustainable Regional Communities, La Trobe University), will ask what is it about these places, people and institutions that sustain them over time. 

— PRESENTER — 

John Martin has a strong interest in the institutions and processes that create sustainable communities. He is trained in ecology and natural resource management, sociology and has a PhD in public policy. Professor Martin provides a multidisciplinary view on sustainable development. John just completed a pan Canadian research tour for nearly six months on a bike. He will report his findings and observations from his up close and personal experiences with local leaders via live webinar.

Podcasting: How to Get Started

 

 
Podcasting is great. You can listen to podcasts on a variety of topics easily through one of a multitude of devices. They are easily accessible and with data being more common everywhere, can be listened to anywhere. They can be a great way to get your message out to people. When they're busy, they can bring your podcast with them to listen to while driving to meetings or while they work. Join us for a conversation with Doug Tilley (an avid cinema podcaster) and find out what you need to get started!
