Will 2023 Bring Clean and Resilient Growth for Rural Canada? - John McNally - PLACE Centre

What is clean and resilient growth and how does it fit into a rural perspective in Canada and will 2023 be the year we realize those in rural Canada?

This week's episode is the first of what I hope will be many conversations with the folks at PLACE Centre, which is a new initiative of the Smart Prosperity Institute (SPI).

My guest is John McNally the Program Director for the Growth program at PLACE where he leads a team of researchers and communicators focused on clean growth policy. John has previously worked as an advisor, researcher, and policymaker on a number of issues including: federal climate policies, corporate sustainability initiatives, and advancing clean growth in Canadian resource sectors. 

We talk specifically about rural Canada, its growth challenges, opportunities and solutions and John gives what we’re calling some predictions/suggestions for rural Canada in 2023 and beyond.

PLACE Centre identifies and advances regionally-focused policy solutions that contribute to Smart Prosperity Institute’svision and mission.

The Smart Prosperity Institute is a national research network and policy think tank based at the University of Ottawa. It delivers world-class research and works with public and private partners – all to advance practical policies and market solutions for a stronger, cleaner economy.
