Covid-19 in Rural Ontario Communities
Interventions should be specific to geographic communities as well as individual needs (e.g., additional financial and childcare support). Rural communities need to be considered as independent geographies rather than as one geography (i.e., urban vs. rural)
Using Collective Impact for intersectoral action in rural Northern Ontario
These initiatives demonstrate how local public health units can use the Collective Impact framework to address complex rural public health challenges. By integrating a continuous learning approach, implementation can integrate knowledge to foster collaboration that leads to community engagement and policy change. However, sustainable funding is critical for supporting collaborative governance and mitigating challenges like limited rural data avai…
Post-Normal Science, Post-Covid
Researching complex public health issues, particularly in rural settings, requires pragmatic approaches that emphasize local perspectives, actionable findings, and timely knowledge mobilization. This paper presents a multi-phased, place-based methodology employed by a practitioner-researcher to conduct qualitative research, share findings in real time, and co-create practical recommendations in a large rural geography. This paper describes the st…
Are rural places prepared for the energy transition? An evaluation of land use plans in rural Manitoba
As energy systems transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources, energy infrastructure will become a predominant land use, especially in rural areas. This poses a challenge for municipalities who need to adapt land use planning frameworks to more renewable energy. Using plan quality evaluation, this paper assesses how 57 rural official plans in Manitoba (Canada) are attempting to integrate energy planning. Consideration of energy within plans…
Covid‐19, mental health, and rurality
COVID‐19 has caused enormous economic and social disruptions that may have lasting effects on employment, income, and working conditions. Critically, these disruptions often have a negative impact on mental health. While significant research has examined the relationship between COVID‐19 and mental health, most of these studies focus on urban centres. This paper presents results from a pilot study conducted in two rural counties in Ontario, Canad…
Land use policy and community strategy. Factors enabling and hampering integrated local strategy in Alberta, Canada
Reinvention paths and reinvention paradox
Resilience, Reinvention and Transition during and after Quarantine
Quarantine measures and the crises triggering them are never neutral in the sense that a return to the past is impossible. These measures are also a signal of other things like systemic risks and weaknesses. A period of quarantine is also a thing in and by itself. What happens after quarantine is thus shaped both by the state of the social-ecological system preceding quarantine and by what happened during quarantine. The selectivities introduced …
Land use tools for tempering boom and bust
Taming the boom and the bust? Land use tools for mitigating ups and downs in communities
Supporting social sustainability in resource‐based communities through leisure and recreation
Community development can be conceptualized as a balance that exists amongst environmental, economic, and social systems; this achievement, however, is difficult for communities undergoing rapid urban development. In particular, resource‐based communities (RBCs) that develop as a result of investment into the extraction of a natural resource such as oil and gas have been found to experience uneven economic development, environmental degradation, …
The changing nature of mining towns
Speculation, planning, and resilience
Fort McMurray and the Canadian Oil Sands
Understanding resource-based communities (RBCs) as potential casualties of Canada's economic proclivity towards resource extraction projects may help us to generate political support for these communities at both local and national scales. The media has a critical role to play in promoting the development of this type of political discourse. This study examines how traditional print media coverage affects Canadians' perceptions of the Athabasca o…
Environmental justice
Key Messages Disjunctures occur between what is covered by the Canadian news media and empirical studies of environmental threats to communities. Canadian newspapers overtly ignore and subtly downplay through discourse environmental threats to marginalized local communities faced with pollution. A wide array of avenues for future research are suggested to contrast different forms of news media and compare the scale of both coverage and discourse
