Speakers 2017
The RAIL Commons will provide in-depth information that will create a strong foundation for understanding rural communities: economic development strategies, realities, best practices and challenges, and subject matter surrounding the wellbeing of rural as a whole. Our speakers will address subjects such as: cumulative impacts (social and ecological) of resource development; broadband and the digital divide in rural; local food; women in municipal politics; quality of life for rural seniors; fragmentation and conversion of agricultural land; rural youth engagement; flood and disaster management; economic diversification and much more.
