Exploring and addressing challenges facing Alberta’s vulnerable populations is important to supporting rural Alberta communities and enhancing quality of life. That’s why ARDN, in partnership with our 21 post-secondary members, is hosting the Creating Rural Connections 2014 Event Series: Vulnerable Populations.

On April 25 at the Alberta College of Art + Design in Calgary, you’ll learn, network, share expertise, and explore partnerships with others invested in Alberta’s vulnerable populations – First Nations, immigrants, youth, seniors, people with disabilities, and other people facing disadvantages – to contribute to the quality of life in rural Alberta.

Not just a “regular” event. CRC 2014: Vulnerable Populations is about more than networking and learning – it’s about making a difference. At this event, you’ll be an integral part of setting the agenda for rural development in the area of vulnerable populations.

What issues matter to you? Where should our energy be focused? How can we work better together to accomplish goals that have benefits for everyone? Join ARDN, our members, and up to 150 participants to explore the issues and discover possible solutions.

***Are you a current faculty member, staff, or student at one of ARDN’s member institutions? If you are, contact Joy (visit website for contact info) to find out how you can attend for free!***
