If you’re an economic developer in rural Alberta, you’re likely familiar with doing more with less.

On Wednesday, May 27, join us for a free webinar with Margot Cathcart, CEO of the Rural Manitoba Economic Development Corporation (RMED), for a practical conversation on what’s working in rural Manitoba and what Alberta communities can take away.

While every community is different, rural regions across Western Canada are often working through similar challenges.
And there’s value in learning from one another.

We’ll explore regional collaboration, workforce attraction, investment readiness, and the realities of building economic resilience with limited capacity and resources.

If you’re working to strengthen a rural economy in Alberta, this conversation is for you.

Register today and join us!
