Ontario's economy is undergoing a transformation as businesses rely less on physical and routinized tasks, and compete increasingly using talent and technology.  In winter/spring 2010, The Monieson Centre presents a public lecture series exploring how rural businesses and communities can thrive in this new economy.

Topics include:

• The Creative Economy: Fact and Fiction
• The Rural Creative Economy: Issues and Challenges
• The Creative Economy in Ontario: A Prince Edward County Case Example
• The Creative Economy: Rural Policy Implications
• The Rural Creative Economy: Agenda for Research

Featuring an impressive cadre of speakers drawn from industry, government and top Ontario universities, you won't want to miss this series!  Up-to-date details, including registration information are available on The Monieson Centre website.

This seminar series is graciously sponsored by the Prince Edward/Lennox & Addington Community Futures Development Corporation and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
