Many BC rural communities face the twin demographic trends of youth out-migration and an aging baby boomer population. This presents challenges, including to the future leadership and sustainability of local businesses. Several communities are now exploring innovative strategies to encourage youth to stay in or move back to their rural hometowns.

A new program of the BC Rural Network – Project ComeBack – is offering support. Read about it.

About the Fraser Basin Council

The Fraser Basin Council (FBC) is a charitable non-profit organization that brings people together to advance sustainability in the Fraser River Basin and across BC. Established in 1997, FBC is a collaboration of four orders of government (federal, provincial, local and First Nations) along with those from the private sector and civil society. We work with people in multiple sectors, helping them find collaborative solutions to today’s issues through a commitment to the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability. Our focus is on healthy water and watersheds, action on climate change and air quality and strong, resilient communities and regions.
