Rural Teams

There is a Rural Team in each province and territories made up of representatives from different levels of government and key stakeholders. We invite all stakeholders to be part of building partnerships, networks and alliances to address key rural issues.

For further information on Canada's Rural Partnership or the Rural Teams, please contact the Regional Manager, Rural Secretariat, in your region.
