 | The Discovery Workshop
model employed in the Monieson Centre's Eastern Ontario KIS project is
now being used to identify rural research priorities in Southwestern
Ontario. The Identifying Rural Research Priorities through Community Engagement (RRP) project is a partnership between the University of Guelph School of Environmental Design and Rural Development, The Ontario Rural Council (TORC), and The Monieson Centre funded through the University of Guelph by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). |
This one-year project, begun in July 2009, is helping identify and
prioritize research needs through meetings in eight communities across
the region, in coordination with local Community Futures Development
Corporations (CFDCs). Results from the SW Ontario workshops, as well
as those in Eastern Ontario, will be used by OMAFRA to help guide rural
research funding decisions. For more information on the RRP project,
