SUMMARY:Keeping It Rural Conference
DESCRIPTION:Throughout North America\, rural communities face similar issues and obstacles. It can be both informative and motivating to learn about the successful efforts of small rural communities\, First Nations\, and rural development organizations\, both within and beyond our province of BC\, in strengthening their rural communities. \nAs a result\, the BC Rural Centre is committed to organizing and hosting a conference on rural development\, spotlighting effective and innovative initiatives. This two-day event is brimming with inspiration and ample opportunities for networking. \nThe success of rural economic development often hinges on the presence of visionary rural development organizations with the capacity to bring about enduring\, positive change. \nDuring this conference\, we will explore a wide array of topics\, including but not limited to agricultural practices\, water resource management\, rural development strategies\, climate resilience\, and the role of technology in enhancing food and water security in rural areas. Our objective is to generate insights\, disseminate best practices\, and ignite action to ensure that rural communities not only thrive but also address global challenges such as food and water scarcity\, climate change\, and environmental sustainability. \nWe extend an invitation to you to join us in this vital conversation\, where we will delve into innovative ideas\, establish meaningful connections\, and collectively work towards a future in which rural communities not only endure but flourish. By doing so\, we contribute to global efforts aimed at ensuring equitable access to food and water resources for all. The Keeping it Rural Conference 2023 pledges to serve as a platform for constructive dialogues\, collaborative solutions\, and a catalyst for positive transformation.

SUMMARY:Stronger Together - BCFGA Rally For Farmers
DESCRIPTION:Join the BCFGA on Tuesday afternoon\, 2:30pm at Gyro Park in Osoyoos\, for a pro-agriculture rally. Bring your whole family to this family-friendly event. We’ll have water and frozen treats available. Bring your lawn chairs or picnic blankets\, if you like! \nThis is not a protest\, but rather a gathering of those who grow tree fruits and grapes in our valley and those who support them. We have invited public officials and community members to come and show their support\, and mingle and listen to the growers\, to understand what sort of supports are needed during these trying times. \nOur message is simple: Stronger Together. The extreme weather events and the plight of farmers goes beyond politics – we need support from consumers and non-partisan solutions and collaboration from all decision-makers. Everyone is invited to show their support\, because together\, we are stronger! \nIf you would like to volunteer your time to help out at the event\, the BCFGA staff would greatly appreciate the extra hands!
