Join us for a vital discussion on the economic backbone of our nation: Rural Canada.
This event promises to be a crucial step toward empowering rural communities and ensuring their place in Canada's economic future.
Economic Powerhouse: Rural communities, including agriculture, energy, forestry, and manufacturing sectors, contribute significantly to Canada's GDP—approximately 30%. Yet, their voices are often overlooked in national discussions.
Fostering Dialogue: By amplifying rural perspectives. This event is dedicated to ensuring that rural voices inform public policy effectively.
“Rural Canada not only contributes significantly to our country’s GDP but also drives a substantial part of the Canadian export economy. The involvement of rural perspectives in shaping public policy is not just beneficial – but essential, enabling policies that address the unique challenges and leverage the diverse strengths of vital communities from coast-to-coast.”
Derek Nighbor, President and CEO of FPAC
