Reports/Rapports: Rural towns facing climate change, Australia

Source: Centre for Housing, Urban and Regional Planning, University of Adelaide.
"Across Australia many of rural communities are already under threat, and climate change will put extra pressure on them, which will lead to extinction" said Professor Andrew Beer, University of Adelaide.

"The cost of dealing with extreme weather events will rise to the point where people will wonder whether it's worthwhile staying in these places," he said.

This report considers the impact of climate change on Australia’s country towns out to the year 2050 and the capacity of this component of Australia’s settlement system to adapt. This report is the first output from this project and presents the findings from the initial stages of the investigation. Later reports will present a fuller picture as the outputs of additional stages of analysis are presented.

RuralTube : The Creative Rural Economy Conference - From Theory to Practice

Source: The Monieson Centre, Queen's School of Business.
The innovation and knowledge-based economy has become a major driver of economic growth in urban areas around the world resulting in the roles of cities and regions in a global economy being redefined and reshaped.

The transformation that has emerged is as significant and as challenging as the transformation that has been made from agriculture to industry; specifically the move away from jobs based on physical activity or repetitive tasks to ones that require analytical skills and judgement. Cities play an important role in the shifting economy. The studies, and their growing evidence, form the basis from which rural and northern Ontario communities would be able to work towards building stronger, more vibrant and dynamic creative economies independently and through collaborative efforts. This conference focused on how the theory of the creative economy can be experienced in practice in rural Ontario communities.

RuralTube : Digital Divide Documentary. Reconnecting with C@P: Stories and Srategies from the Halifax Region

Source: The Halifax Regional C@P Association.
Through stories from nine community access (C@P) sites in the Halifax region, this documentary explores digital divides and the value and ever-changing potential of community access to the Internet and information technology.

"The Community Access Program (CAP) is an initiative developed to help provide Canadians with affordable public access to the Internet and the skills to use it effectively. It is one of the first Canada On-line programs to be launched. And it’s an important part of Connecting Canadians, the Government of Canada’s exciting agenda, to make Canadians the most Internet-connected people in the world. Under CAP, public sites such as libraries and community centres act as “on-ramps” to the Information Highway and provide support on how to make the best use of the Internet."

RuralTube : Northern Grown: How is Thunder Bay Feeding Itself?

Source: Food Security Research Network.
A local food documentary which has been in development for six months, “Northern Grown” is meant to give consumers the opportunity to meet a collection of local producers and hear their thoughts on the state of the region’s food system.

In the Thunder Bay region, where agricultural land is framed by the jutting fingers of the rocky Canadian Shield and where farms were carved out of the Boreal Forest by turn-of-the-20th-Century pioneers, farming is not an obvious career choice for young people to make. Unlike the established patterns of the Canadian Prairies or the Niagara region, producing food in Northwestern Ontario requires a special kind of farmer. As part of our research The Food Security Research Network interviewed five local producers of basic foods in an effort to better understand the challenges they face.

"On Remembrance Day, we ask the question, is the Afghanistan War a reality for one Canada and an abstraction for the other? Why is one Canada going into the Armed Forces while the other one isn't? And how comfortable are we with the fact that one Canada is fighting and dying in the Afghan mission while the other one isn't?"

The Rural Development Network (RDN) hosted a half-day Renewable Energy Workshop on June 11, 2010 featuring two presentations: Mr. Tim Weis, Director of Renewable Energy and Efficiency at The Pembina Institute; and Ms. Renée Lazarowich, Community Energy Technical Advisor with the Office of Energy Efficiency at Natural Resources Canada.

The Keynote speaker – Mr. Tim Weis, Director of Renewable Energy and Efficiency at The Pembina Institute – provided an overview of the study he co-authored titled “Renewable Energy Policies for Remote and Rural Communities”. Its overarching purpose was to aid in developing strategic and targeted public policy in Canada that could provide environmental, economic and social benefits to remote and rural communities.

During Mr. Weis’ presentation, participants learned about the Institute’s energy policy assessment which:
• examined Canadian and international policies that support the deployment of renewable energy technologies in rural and remote areas;
• covered policies and programs in Canada, the United States, Australia and Europe, focussing on recent policy developments between 2004-08 and programs that had been implemented to some degree in remote and rural communities;
• included particular barriers and challenges rural and remote communities face to increasing uptake of renewable energy technologies; and
• highlighted some of the economic, environmental and social impacts in meeting energy challenges of remote and rural communities.

The other invited speaker was Ms. Renée Lazarowich, Community Energy Technical Advisor with the Office of Energy Efficiency at Natural Resources Canada. She introduced the recent work by NRCan on Integrated Community Energy Solutions and its relevance to small, rural and remote communities. She also provided a summary of the study commissioned by NRCan and completed by The Pembina Institute, titled “Opportunities for Deep Reductions [of greenhouse gas emissions] in Small, Rural and Remote Communities”.

During Ms. Lazarowich’s presentation, participants heard about:
• constraints, limitations, challenges and opportunities for small, rural and remote communities related to energy and greenhouse gas emissions;
• successful strategies and case studies to reduce emissions and energy use taken from Canadian communities or communities outside Canada;
• sector-specific strategies (e.g. housing efficiency, transportation) as well as technological and integrated solutions (e.g. waste heat recovery from industrial processes); and
• certain economic, social and environmental benefits and climate change impacts of reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

Le Réseau pour le développement rural (RDR) a animé un Atelier sur les énergies renouvelables d’une demie journée le 11 juin 2010.

Le conférencier principal – M. Tim Weis, Directeur des énergies renouvelables et de la politique sur l’efficacité au Pembina Institute – a offert un aperçu de l’étude qu’il a corédigée : « Renewable Energy Policies for Remote and Rural Communities » (Politiques sur les énergies renouvelables pour les collectivités rurales et éloignées). Son objectif principal est d’aider à développer au Canada des politiques publiques stratégiques et ciblées dont les collectivités rurales et éloignées pourraient tirer des avantages environnementaux, économiques et sociaux.

Pendant sa présentation, M. Weis expliqua aux participants comment l’institut a évalué les politiques énergétiques :
• L’institut a examiné les politiques canadiennes et internationales qui appuient le déploiement de technologies d’énergies renouvelables dans les régions rurales et éloignées.
• L’évaluation portait sur les politiques et les programmes en place au Canada, aux États Unis, en Australie et en Europe, et mettait l’accent sur les récents développements politiques (entre 2004 et 2008) et les programmes qui avaient été mis en place jusqu’à un certain point dans les collectivités rurales et éloignées.
• L’évaluation portait aussi sur certains obstacles et défis qui nuisent à une adoption accrue des technologies d’énergies renouvelables par les collectivités rurales et éloignées.
• Elle soulignait certains des impacts économiques, environnementaux et sociaux liés à la résolution des problèmes énergétiques des collectivités rurales et éloignées.
