Many of Canada’s rural communities are in economic, demographic, educational and social decline, according to a 2006 Interim Senate Report on rural poverty. The Monieson Knowledge Impact in Society (KIS) project will mobilize academic knowledge to increase rural Eastern Ontario’s economic activity in order to grow healthier rural communities. KIS is a collaborative effort among The Monieson Centre, led by its Director Dr. Yolande Chan, Queen’s School of Business, the Eastern Ontario CFDC Network, and the PELA CFDC.
