Pathways to practice: SEDRD bridging knowledge, practitioners and students

The new initiative from the U of G School of Environmental Design and Rural Development (SEDRD) will build bridges between graduate students, rural economic development officers, and rural community leaders to connect knowledge, ideas, and networks. The project focuses on creating an in-person forum for facilitating these connections, creating a series of new knowledge outputs, and training/mentorship.

The outcome will create new knowledge outputs, new training and new networks to support agricultural and rural communities throughout Ontario.

This initiative is a partnership between the Canadian Centre for Rural Creativity, Economic Development Council of Ontario, and Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health.

Learn more about this new initiative on the Rural Development website. 

This initiative is funded through the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, a collaboration between the Government of Ontario and the University of Guelph.
