Formerly called | Alberta Rural Development Network |
The Rural Development Network (RDN), formerly the Alberta Rural Development Network (ARDN), is an Alberta-based organization purposed towards supporting development in rural communities in Canada. [1]
Established in 2009, RDN was created as a partnership of Alberta's 21 public post secondary institutions. [2]
ARDN publishes a newsletter, The RTAB, at least once a month.
ARDN began operations in 2009 with a grant from the Rural Alberta Development Fund (RADF) [3] and in-kind commitments from its post-secondary members.
Since its inception, ARDN has worked with several of Alberta's colleges, universities and organizations on projects, including Lakeland College and Portage College on a Regional Innovation Network in East Central Alberta, [4] Mount Royal University on a Business Retention & Expansion Symposium, [5] the Alberta Academy of Art and Design on the Company of Albertans, [6] Pastor Tim Wray on the Young Adult Photovoice Project, [7] and Lethbridge College on Social in the South. [8]
More recently, ARDN administered the Homelessness Partnering Strategy's Rural and Remote Homelessness funding stream for Alberta. [9] So far, this has resulted in the funding of seven rural homelessness projects, including projects in Drayton Valley, [10] Chestermere, [11] Fort Macleod [12] and Cochrane. [13]
