Transforming Rural Economies: Change and Innovation offers participants the opportunity to explore today’s most innovative strategies in building a sustainable rural economy. Summit workshops and presentations will feature community and industry leaders with the goal of:

* Creating and enhancing awareness around issues of importance to rural and remote communities across all regions of BC
* Providing participants with practical tools and strategies that can be translated into actions in their communities
* Offering valuable opportunities to network with and learn from rural colleagues

More than 25 workshops and presentations will provide new skills, explore the experiences, and share the lessons learned by rural and remote communities across BC. Presentations and workshops themes include rural community economic development, integrated community sustainability planning, building aboriginal relationships, rural workforce development, tourism, leadership, healthy living and much more.

A limited number of travel bursaries are available on a first-come, first-served basis to rural residents and representatives of rural organizations who would otherwise not be able to attend. Travel bursary application forms are available at: http://www.bcruralsummit.ca/
