40 Years Forward: A Rural Renaissance Project

Forty years ago, Annapolis Royal reinvented itself with the help of its community members. In 2021 AIRO (Annapolis Investments in Rural Opportunity) made a documentary sharing that process. We encourage you to watch our documentary, RURAL RENAISSANCE: How Canada’s Oldest Town Reinvented Itself, before participating in this survey.

The next phase of the Annapolis Rural Renaissance Project asks what the community would like to see happen in Annapolis Royal.

AIRO's first report, Local Logic: How to get there from here, was a community guide for its micro-lending model. A new report, Local Logic: Forty Years Forward, will be a guide for changemakers to help us continue to thrive and carry our rural renaissance well into the future.

Submit up to three ideas that could carry us 40 years forward! We’ll share these ideas at community consultation events where more ideas can be submitted, discussed, and worked into our public report.
