Book excerpt: Presents the findings of a task force charged with the mandate to make recommendations regarding a more efficient and effective approach to regional development in each of the proposed economic zones of Newfoundland and Labrador. The task force examined two broad areas of concern: organisational structures, and programs and services for community economic development. To achieve its stated goals, the task force held consultative meetings around the province, received submissions from interested parties, and conducted primary and secondary research. This task force report begins with an introduction on community economic development, the task force's consultation process, and the history of approaches to regional economic development in the province. It then presents the task force recommendations in sections covering the use of volunteers, the establishment of economic development zones, the Appendices include zone profiles, findings of an attitude survey, and lists of briefs presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to quality services and community infrastructure are vital parts of supporting sustainable and resilient rural and small town places. Renewing outdated infrastructure and supporting the delivery of services in rural communities present significant challenges from the constrained fiscal and policy realities of the 21st century. Drawing upon contributors from five Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, this book describes innovative service delivery and community infrastructure models that are appropriate to the contemporary rural and resource-dependent regions of developed economies. The examples show that an entrepreneurial approach to service delivery and infrastructure provision by local organizations and governments is needed. Critical economic and community development supports are crucial to assist creative and innovative sets of solutions that work for small communities. Chapters in this book argue that community development foundations for resilient rural and small town communities and regions must be co-constructed and co-delivered in partnership by both local and senior government actors, in terms of both policy and committed resources. This volume will be extremely valuable for students, scholars, and community development practitioners exploring policy-making, government initiatives, and community service provision in rural and small town places.

This book was released on 2013-11-08 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is endorsed by Dr. Clar Doyle in his preface to this book. Dr. Doyle is very well known locally. This book is about the contemporary life of grandparents in Newfoundland and Labrador – a geographically isolated and culturally unique rural region of Canada. The book can be used for courses in the areas of critical social work, family studies, gerontology, nursing, rural development, critical pedagogy, and diaspora studies. Clar Doyle, Professor of Education, Memorial University of Newfoundland, and member of the Founding Scholars Advisory Board, The Paulo and Nita Freire International Project for Critical Pedagogy. “This book offers a platform not only to look in on the lives of vital grandparents but paints, in broad strokes, a mural of coming, changing, as well as challenging cultural and social settings.... In what the astute editors ....call “small nuanced studies” we find telling narratives of generational connections in the face of changing and challenging odds....This book does a great service to the concept of diaspora, as well as to the changing nature of that concept... This book elevates the status of grandparents by positioning them as vital members of a complex and challenging society where their skills, gifts, and sheer presence are most formative.... As is strongly advocated in this book, it is essential that educators, curriculum developers, and teachers appreciate the place of grandparents in their students’ lives.”

Book excerpt: The theory and practice of sustainable development has often under-emphasized rural and natural resource-dependent areas, including in sustainability indicators (SIs) to measure and monitor local sustainability conditions. It also remains unclear how SI tools should be used by local stakeholders to support governance for sustainable development, including the roles of governmental and non-state actors in their design and application, and the efficacy of direct instrumental use versus more communicative forms of influence. This dissertation examines these inter-related knowledge gaps in the context of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL), Canada, wherein rural coastal communities have been central to the province's history and identity, yet are often labelled as unviable in popular debates. Drawing on socio-economic indicators like demographic decline and aging population, these characterizations are used to call the sustainability of rural NL into question, mirroring deficiencies-based narratives in other rural and resource-dependent places and reinforcing calls for asset-based approaches to local development. In this context, the present dissertation explores the potential for integrating indicator-based tools with community storytelling, which has been examined as a potent way to represent contextualized local realities and mobilizing stakeholders for sustainability transitions. Taking a transdisciplinary approach, this study aims to bridge scholarship, policy, and practice while striving for community-based research methods and engagement with rural stakeholders. Through this approach, I examine existing ways of using SI and asset mapping tools in rural and resource-based areas and introduce a storytelling approach for not only identifying and measuring, but ultimately mobilizing rural sustainability assets. By proposing an alternative way to link knowledge and action through the power of storytelling, this study thus contributes to understandings of governance for sustainable development and the use of SI tools therein. This dissertation is presented in four stand-alone manuscripts, including: a) an inventory of existing SI initiatives across rural Canada; b) a comparative analysis of three SI and asset mapping projects in rural NL; c) a reformulated conceptual framework for integrating storytelling and SIs in rural and resource-based areas; and d) an exploratory application of this storytelling approach on the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland. These manuscripts build incrementally on one another, with the storytelling framework responding to the shortcomings of existing SI tools and providing a novel contribution to research and practice. Overall, this study makes significant theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions to research on sustainable community development, rural sustainability, and SI tools, while bridging knowledge and action between academic, policy, and practitioner spheres.
