Rural Talks To Rural

The Rural Talks to Rural (R2R) biennial conference has become a staple in Huron County since 2016. This event supports rural development in Ontario and through its connections, and collaborative initiatives, in rural and remote communities across Canada. The first conference held at the Blyth Fairgrounds in 2016 brought together folks from across the region to connect/network, explore rural issues, and take home shareable ideas. Four subsequent R2R conferences have made this a signature event on the Ontario rural landscape. These conferences fulfill a need and offer an opportunity in rural Ontario as they provide a meeting place and space to come together and connect with different stakeholders who support rural development. Most importantly this conference is about rural people talking to rural people.
