Studies in Rural Geography
Although urbanisation has made the reliance on the rural areas less obvious, most Canadians still recognize their importance for non-basic employment, recreation, food production and waste disposal. The countryside also plays an environmental, symbolic and aesthetic role that defines the nation's image at home and abroad. Through a case study approach, the challenges faced by limited-resource regions and farming communities across Canada are examined with rural revitalization as the major theme. (formerly GEO 805)
