- Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation
The Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation (CRRF) ("Francais: Fondation Canadienne pour la Revitalisation Rurale")CRRF is a national non-profit organization. The mission of CRRF is to revitalize rural Canada. Strong rural economies across Canada are needed by the rest of Canadians for the 2000s. CRRF achieves its mission through education and research for rural leaders in the community, the private sector and in government.
CRRF assembles creative minds from rural communities, governments, universities and businesses to enable rural populations to succeed with these challenges. Specifically CRRF addresses:
* the need for jobs and wealth generating activities.
* the need for institutional flexibility within the private sector, and within social and governing organizations in rural Canada.
* the need for urban and rural people to help each other find ethical environmental and economic solutions to the problems of sustainability and rural dependence.
* the need for continuing learning to enable rural populations to participate actively in the economic life of their country.
Governance
CRRF is governed by an elected board of directors. The board consists of ten members. Current directors include: Mike Stolte-President (The CIEL), Rob Greenwood - Past President (Memorial University), George Penfold - Treasurer (Selkirk College), Bruno Jean (Université du Québec à Rimouski), Bill Reimer (Concordia University), Craig Pollet (Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Municipalities), Karen Heisler (City of Ardie), David Douglas (University of Guelph), Kevin Snook (Niagara Growth Fund Inc.), Ken Perlich (Econex Consulting), and Deatra Walsh (Memorial University).
