Strong Farm & Rural Shores Destinations - Symposium & Workshop - Northern Ontario

ABOUT THE EVENT

Since 2021, EXA Group Canada has conducted technical visits in rural areas of Canada, starting research in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Between November 2022 and March 2023, the startup conducted technical visits through the READI program of the Tourism Industry Association of Canada, researching rural and remote areas in Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and Northwest Territories.

The Strong Farm & Rural Shores Destinations program aims to research and develop solutions for rural and indigenous businesses, farms, and communities. EXA Group Canada has been developing the program in Canada, Mexico, and Brazil since 2021. Our focus is to create sustainability and regenerate our planet, and we invite you to participate in developing these models in Canada to export solutions worldwide.

The Strong Farm & Rural Shores Destinations program symposiums and workshops are being offered free of charge by the Tourism Industry Association of Canada, funded by the Government of Canada. We aim to present the influence of the international system and commitments to global agendas for sustainable development and net-zero carbon goals by 2050. These events will give important information on tourism diplomacy and strategies to create community-based economies in rural areas. In addition, it offers two workshops related to building strong brands and project management tools for businesses and communities.

Participants received a certificate of participation with the hourly load. This certificate features the ESTour Seal, EXA Group Canada's seal of Excellence for Sustainable Tourism, promoting quality for projects and knowledge. The certificate will be issued within 30 days for participants after the event.
