As a forum for rural dialogue, collaboration and action, TORC provides a vital venue for the province’s most progressive rural voices.
Ours is a neutral table around which representatives from all rural sectors – economic, political, social and cultural – pull up a chair and are encouraged to open the lines of communication, drawing from their vast networks to excite, encourage and educate!
Only at our table does the opportunity exist to openly discuss current trends and issues – whether alarming or invigorating – as they emerge from across the rural landscape, all in a bid to help inform and influence rural policy, programs and research.
And when the chair gets pushed back from the table, each member who stands learns to speak with the collective richness of the entire Council’s input.
