The Resilient Rurals Model
Over 6 million Canadians live in rural areas, which are more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change while faced with greater resource restrictions and financial limitations.
We are responding to these unique challenges directly and in partnership with the communities most affected with a first-if-its-kind small and rural community climate adaptation model.
Regional Collaboration
Rural communities are hubs of ingenuity. Our model centers diverse regional partnerships to collectively address the significant and unequal vulnerabilities to climate change. By bringing together unique perspectives and sets of resources, we can effectively address regional challenges.
Holistic Approach
Small and rural communities are adaptable. But, it is essential for commitments to make a tangible difference in the lives of residents. A whole-picture approach to resilience allows for creative solutions to real problems, ensuring measurable results for those who matter most - the people who live there.
By and For Small Towns
Trust needs to be earned.
Resilient Rurals was started by small towns specifically to meet small-town needs. We understand rural communities face challenges and will work with you to address your community's priorities in an impactful way.
