Featured: Inter‐generational Wealth Transfers in Rural Canada: Dr. Ryan Gibson
Rural areas are places of wealth, however, this wealth is increasingly mobile. Without careful consideration, much of it could leave rural areas as younger generations move to urban centres. Intergenerational transfers of wealth could play a crucial role in supporting rural communities. Evidence will show that time is of the essence! This presentation will explore how philanthropy could play a huge role in sustaining rural communities and how professional advisors could be part of the solution.
Dr. Gibson is Libro Professor in Regional Economic Development at the University of Guelph. He is interested in the issues of rural development, philanthropy, immigration, rural policy, and community collaboration.
