THREAD - Rural Communities:
It’s time for a reset on how we talk about rural Canada. About why thriving rural communities are not only important to the 10 million Canadians that live there, but to the prosperity of our entire country. 1/4 #cdnmuni

Yes, adequate broadband access is a health, safety + economic issue for rural communities – but Canada’s economy needs those communities connected too. This needs to happen now. So too, we all need a strong agricultural sector. A flourishing tourism sector, and it goes on. 2/4
So too, we need their innovation. In my role I get to work with and learn from leaders from rural communities across Canada. I see first hand the ingenuity and hard work. When I think of rural Canada, I think first of massive opportunity – not need. 3/4
So thank you to FCM’s strong Rural Forum, Chair @orb_ray, our meeting this morning was as insightful as always. FCM will continue to strongly represent our rural communities, and we’re going to shine a bright light on the offer and opportunity the country needs to leverage. 4/4
