Northern Policy Institute is pleased to announce the\u00a0State of the North Conference<\/em>\u00a0taking place September 27th<\/sup>\u00a0and 28th<\/sup>\u00a0in Timmins, ON.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

State of the North is an annual conference that brings together members of the general public, decision makers, community leaders, experts, and innovators to explore the state of Northern Ontario from an economic, social, and environmental perspective.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cEach year, Northern Policy Institute will provide an annual update on the state of the North by offering reporting on a set of environmental, social and economic indicators that we will define and select in partnership with our communities,\u201d said Charles Cirtwill, President & CEO of Northern Policy Institute. \u201cIt\u2019s time to take what we have learned and step forward into solution based discussions.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme is\u00a0\u2018Responding to Northern Ontario\u2019s Demographic Shift\u2019<\/em>. Northern Ontario is facing a combination of a declining and aging population. At the same time, the Indigenous population is young and growing, representing important opportunities for the northern regions of the province. These demographic shifts will have significant implications on Northern Ontario\u2019s economy and society, impacting the long term sustainability of all 11 districts in the region.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This conference will explore evidence-based solutions to address these challenges by exploring the roles that migration, cross-cultural engagement with Indigenous communities, and local governance can have on improving the sustainability of Northern Ontario.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This non-partisan day and a half event will feature multidisciplinary researchers, and authors recognized in their fields of study. The conference will also include opportunities for networking, and interactive tools to facilitate conversation across Northern Ontario and beyond. To join the conversation on social media, use the hashtag #StateOfTheNorth<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Registration is now open for the conference, which will be held September 27th<\/sup>-28th<\/sup>\u00a0at the Ramada Inn in Timmins, Ontario. To register, visit\u00a0www.stateofthenorth.ca<\/a>. Participants are also encouraged to attend the\u00a0Northern Ontario Business Awards<\/a>\u00a0on September 28th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Anyone attending the NOBA\u2019s will receive a discounted ticket price for the conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
