Beyond the Big City: How Small Communities Across Canada Can Attract and Retain Newcomers

The Public Policy Forum, in partnership with Pathways to Prosperity, is pleased to share their report: “Beyond the Big City:  How Small Communities Across Canada Can Attract and Retain Newcomers.”

Research was conducted to determine how newcomer attraction and retention could be enhanced to contribute to the success of smaller centres and less densely populated regions across Canada.  A literature review and jurisdictional scan were also conducted to bring together the best available evidence on newcomer attraction to, and retention in, small centres and rural areas.
