    • White River Community Garden
      This group is dedicated to the White River Community Garden Project, an initiative of Rural Change Maker Danielle Stewart. "This community garden project will teach our youth the importance of self sustenance and get our elderly engaged in a rewarding outdoor activity. Our local grocery store struggles to provide us with fresh healthy vegetables and fruit. Unfortunately our community is considered “the end of the line” so we are provided whatever is left over on delivery trucks. The garden is a symbol of hope to teach others how to grow their own food year round, as well as provide locals with that fresh from the ground alternative."

    • Young Rural Resilient
      The Young Rural Resilient Project is a movement to gain a deeper understanding of where rural youth are at since the Pandemic. The past few years have been difficult for many young people, but especially so for rural youth. We have learned much from our Rural Change Makers and discovered the needs of our young people have been profoundly impacted by the Pandemic, particularly youth in rural and remote regions, Indigenous youth and youth with barriers who face uniquely different experiences, opportunities and challenges. To bridge youth-identified gaps and better serve the diverse needs, hopes and dreams of young people in rural Ontario we are re-tooling our upcoming program for 2023 informed by the many voices shared through outreach of the Young Rural Resilient Project. In this outreach, ROI engaged with hundreds of rural, remote and Indigenous youth, intertribal leaders and community members. We engaged and we listened! Listened to what rural youth need. What matters to youth. What they hope for. What they love about their communities and how we can wrap opportunities around those aspirations to create spaces for leadership, growth, respect, inclusion, discovery and belonging. Thank you for sharing with us. Your input has been profoundly meaningful and central to the co-design of the upcoming Rural Change Makers Program. What We Heard YRR-VideoPublic
