Rural Rebound

In order to accelerate a rural renaissance from Covid-19, we are collecting, curating and sharing stories featuring positive examples of innovations drawn from across rural Ontario.

The Rural Ontario Institute invites you to add momentum to a rural rebound from the COVID 19 shutdowns. Share a story of creative solutions amidst the challenges of these unsettling times! We are interested in all types of stories whether they are driven by rural citizens, agencies and local government, rural businesses or community organizations. Collaboration will no doubt be a common theme!

Share your story of Rural Renaissance!

The Rural Ontario Institute invites you to add momentum that will accelerate a rural rebound from the COVID 19 shutdowns. Share your story of creative solutions amidst the challenges of these unsettling times! We are interested in all types of stories whether they are driven by rural citizens, agencies and local government, rural businesses (agri-food and otherwise) or community organizations.

We have selected several initiatives for a deeper dive in the form of “case studies”.

Case studies are based on virtual interviews with the stakeholders involved in each project or initiative as we inquired into the details, reflections and learnings from their experiences. Each of the featured case studies includes a link to watch the complete interview and a written summary of the interview. We specifically probed to highlight what might be transferrable for others looking to do similar projects and we expect rural stakeholders will look at these case studies to take ideas/recommendations and adapt them to their own context. Such peer-to-peer knowledge exchange is the underlying approach of Rural Rebound.
