Rural Canadians are the unsung heroes of Canada’s extraordinary success story.
Subscribe to The Rural Roundup today to get monthly updates on the stories shaping rural Canada.
The world needs rural Canada
From energy, food, critical minerals and the open spaces both for clean tech and infrastructure to connect it all, rural Canada holds what the world needs.
Canadians depend on exports from rural Canada to fuel our growth — Canada’s natural resource exports were valued at $383 billion in 2024, comprising 53 per cent of the value of Canada's total merchandise exports. Overall, rural Canada accounts for 25 per cent of our national output.
If Canada is to build lasting economic prosperity, it will be through fully unlocking the potential of its rural regions.
Our mission is to highlight the critical importance of rural Canada and the rural way of life to our country’s economic growth and prosperity.
We are doing this by:
Deepening ties and fostering dialogue on the unique considerations for rural communities.
Sharing rural Canadian stories and successes and promoting initiatives through diverse and effective communication channels.
