Rural Projects
ARDN works to ensure that the information and results from rural development projects and research are shared with the people who can use it in terms they understand. The Rural Project Library is where you can read plain language summaries, link to the reports, and begin discussions on specific projects.
How can a community develop the tools to transition away from dependency on a single industry? Communities in New Brunswick asked this question; find out what they discovered!
ARDN is directly involved in rural research, networking events, developing tools, and posting information that we feel will be of value to rural Albertans. You can view a list of the projects and events we’ve supported! *Please note that this section is under construction.
Community Info
We’re constantly adding to the community section of our website. You can find links to education, tools, funding, resources and more.
Downtown Revitalization on the Boomtown Trail
On January 20, representatives from Boomtown Trail communities met in Delburne for a day of planning, and left with a clear sense of how their downtowns will become the heart and soul of their communities, thereby creating a strong, economically viable region. The process and its results were nothing short of visionary.
