Rural Immigration

January 1, 2021

The Rural Development Network developed the Rural Employers’ Awareness on Diversity and Inclusion toolkit to support employers, municipalities and service providers with the successful attraction, settlement and retention of newcomers in rural communities. This toolkit was funded by the Government of Alberta’s 2022-2023 Settlement, Integration and Language Program (SILP) and was done in partnership with Lethbridge Family Services and ASSIST Community Services Centre.
