Province seeks public input on rural revitalization strategy

The Provincial Government is inviting residents and community organizations across Newfoundland and Labrador to help shape a new Rural Revitalization Strategy.

The initiative aims to identify opportunities, challenges and priorities in communities throughout the province, with input being sought from residents, municipalities, Indigenous Governments and Organizations, businesses, community groups and local leaders.

A public consultation session is scheduled for Monday, November 9, in St. John’s.

Those interested in attending can register for an in-person or virtual consultation through EngageNL. The venue address will be provided to registered participants by email 24 hours before the event.

People who cannot attend a consultation can also participate by completing an online questionnaire or submitting written feedback.

Written submissions can be emailed to RuralRevitalization@gov.nl.ca or mailed to:
