The full details of the task force's composition and mandate are still being finalized, but work will begin almost immediately. The task force will be established under the Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario) and will begin its work in rural ridings across the province. At the outset, the goal of "Project Rural" is to design a program of out- reach in federal ridings across Ontario that are predominantly rural. A first step will be to consult with former Liberal candidates, their campaign teams and electoral district associations from ridings with a significant rural presence. But equally important, the task force will engage directly with com- munities in ridings that are pre- dominantly rural or have a signifi- cant rural presence. Project Rural will also conduct research into key rural issues and will tap into existing AMY McCLURE Sales Rep. 519-525-3988 Submitted Photo Former Huron -Bruce federal Liberal candidate Allan Thompson to set up task force "Project Rural".

Project Rural recognizes the need for the federal Liberal party to engage directly on key issues that resonate with rural voters, to estab- lish best practices for campaigning in a rural context and to begin the process now of devising a rural campaign strategy and platform MAUREEN WILDFONG Sales Rep. 519-525-9954 IMMACULATE HOME AFFORDABLE TO BE BUILT 93 HURON STREET, CLINTON 154 MAPLE STREET, CLINTON 49 ST CHARLES PLACE, VANASTRA MLS # 754242 $299,900 MLS # 873520 $279,900 MIS # 182447 $59,500 LOTS OF CHARACTER COUNTRY LIVING GREAT STARTER 62 CROMBIE STREET, SEAFORTH MLS # 376265 $275,000 DOUBLE LOT 48 WILSON STREET, SEAFORTH 43771 HULLETT- MCKILLOP 26 ROSALIE STREET, ZURICH 53 WILSON STREET, SEAFORTH MLS # 713179 $259,000 MLS # 989318 $199,000 MLS # 579650 $119,900 MLS # 184220 $219,000 www.sellingseaforth.com COVER ALL THE MAJOR SUBJECTS planks for 2019. "We must be regarded as a party and government that has some- thing to say to rural voters. And hav- ing aving something to say starts with lis- tening," said Thompson. "Ithinkthe federal Liberal party can work harder to connect with people who live in rural communities." As the Liberal candidate in Huron -Bruce in last year's election, Thompson ran on a theme of pro- viding a strong rural voice. He and his supporters moved the Liberal party from a distant third in 2011 to a very competitive second -place finish in the October 19 election. And Thompson's experience mir- rored that of many other candidates in ridings with a significant rural component. Alongside MP Kim Rudd (North- umberland -Peterborough South), Thompson was asked to lead a panel on "the rural campaign" at the LPC(0) Executive Board meet- ing held in Ottawa in early Decem- ber. To prepare for that session, he was in touch with candidates in a number of predominantly rural rid- ings and conducted an informal survey about lessons leamed from the 2015 campaign. A central find- ing of that surveywas that there is a need to start now re -connecting with rural candidates and their communities and to build a major program of outreach in rural ridings. Thompson was born and raised on a farm in Bruce county and is now a journalism professor at Car- leton University. Based on his expe- rience as a candidate, he took the initiative to propose to the Liberal party that it set up the Project Rural task force. Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario) President Tyler Banham has formally tasked Thompson with establishing and chairing the initiative.
