Creating Inclusive Economies:
Building Bridges Between Public, Private and Civil Society Sectors
Benefits of Attending
Creating Inclusive Economies: Building Bridges Between Public, Private, and Civil Society Sectors (CIE 2021) is Canada’s definitive rural development event where public, private, and civil society sectors share best practices and discover new opportunities.
As Canada’s economy begins to recover from the pandemic, these conversations are more important than ever to ensure the well-being of individuals and businesses in rural Canada.
Who should attend
Anyone interested in enhancing the economic and social well-being of rural citizens should attend this conference. CIE 2021 is the meeting place for organizations to come together to highlight best practices and discuss what opportunities exist to support and encourage economic development in rural communities across Canada. This conference will be of particular interest to community or non-governmental organizations; the private sector (business); academics; local, regional, provincial, territorial, and/or federal governments; Indigenous governments and/or organizations; and other policymakers.
