Approximately 250 community
leaders, researchers, development
practitioners and policymakers will
come together this October 21, 22
and 23 in Huron County, to exam
ine the future of rural manufactur
ing and tradeable services and the
communities that depend upon
them.
“Stimulating Rural Economics
for the 2000's: The Challenge for
Ruial Manufacturing and Services”
is the fourth in a series of five inter
national conferences organized by
the Agricultural and Rural Restruc
turing Group (AARG), a not-for-
profit orgtrnization of rural social
scientists, policy-makers and prac
titioners from Canadian small
towns and rural communities com
mitted to improving the economic
and social condition of rural peo
ple.
The 1992 conference will focus
on several key policy issues related
to rural manufacturing, business
and tradeable services. Among
these issues:
• How will the restructuring of
industrial production and tradeable
services affect rural and small town
Canada in the 1990's?
• What barriers hinder the cre
ation of rural and small town manu
facturing and service jobs?
• Can adding value to primary
products through local manufactur
ing be a viable option in the new
global economy?
• What lessons can successful
rural and small town entrepreneurs
offer?
• How can communities, govern
ments and the private sector be
partners in stimulating new manu
facturing, business and tradeable
service activities?
The conference provides an
opportunity to share experiences
and ideas on rural economic devel
opment from across Canada, the
United States and Europe. In the
end, the goal is to generate greater
policy awareness amongst all par
ticipants and develop new options
for economic opportunity in rural
and small town Canada.
