It's been a process, but we are excited to finally unveil our new name/logo at today's AGM! #HelloRDN https://youtu.be/BUaBJzeEKo4 We are dropping the Alberta from our name to be the Rural Development Network.... This does not mean that a) we are abandoning our Alberta-base or that b) we are trying to infringe on the efforts of groups doing amazing work in other provinces. This simply means that more rural communities throughout the country can access and request the resources and services we already offer. Stay tuned over the next few months as we tweak our online presence to reflect this change! #rural #ruraldevelopment #nonprofit #rebranding #branding #logo #design #communitydevelopment #network

We are honoured to be awarded not one, but two awards from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC)! These awards are for our publications on developing affordable housing (https://www.ruraldevelopment.ca//guide-to-developing-affor), and estimating rural homelessness (https://www.ruraldevelopment.ca//step-by-step-guide-to-est)! We aim to use these awards as a way to empower more and more communities with data and tools that would help provide homes to every Canadian. #cmhc #unexpectedsolutions #housingresearch #homelessness #affordablehousing #data #nonprofit #community

To celebrate national housing day, we've released a Call for Expressions of Interest for groups looking to start affordable housing developments in Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador!

We're partnering with the Religious Freedom & Business Foundation and The Centre for Civic Religious Literacy to explore the need for faith-oriented resource groups in a work setting.
