The Canadian Centre for Rural Creativity (CCRC) is pleased to present this year's Conference theme: Rural Today, Rural Tomorrow - exploring Wellbeing, Housing, and Climate & Community. It happens over three and half days in the Four Winds Barn in Brussels, Ontario, between October 17-20 (https://www.fourwindsbarn.com/). There will be options to join virtually, which will provide you access to the keynote speakers and inspirational talks. With the in-person experience, expect keynotes, engaging workshops, and networking opportunities to continue the conversation. However you choose to gather with us, you will be part of a bigger conversation and be inspired to participate in building a new roadmap together for rural communities – a map for our planet and for next generations. 

R2R22 looks at where we are at now, and where we are going, by providing a space for passionate individuals to gather and converse. You will be among thought leaders, farmers, artists, business folks, researchers, activists, students, scientists, elected officials, municipal staff, and many other engaged citizens who will share and add new tools to the toolbelt of knowledge – skills that you can take back to your home community. 

WELCOME TO HURON COUNTY: Ontario’s West Coast. Join us in our rural hospitality, with local chefs creating land-to-table meals, enjoyed alongside the finest our local wineries and breweries have to offer. 

R2R22 brings people together from across the County, the Country and beyond our borders. JOIN US! 

“The future is only ever realized in the moment.”
