Seeds of Change: Rural Immigration Conference

Seeds of Change: Rural Immigration Conference

Tuesday, May 7, 2024 5:00 PM - Wednesday, May 8, 2024 5:00 PM (MDT)

Description

Attracting, Retaining, and Thriving Together in Rural Communities With the recent success of programs such as the Rural Renewal Stream, rural immigration has been increasing rapidly across Alberta. With many small, rural or remote communities embracing immigration, it is becoming more and more important to have best practices and considerations for small communities who may not have the capacity or resources that larger urban communities have. 

Join us to share best practices in newcomer attraction and retention through the lens of rural municipalities. Build the network of municipal leaders, economic development professionals, settlement services and community development organizations who each play a role in making rural immigration a success.
