Rural summit rolls out Olympic-class guest
development themes according to the event’s tagline: “The summit where all the important topics of our economy will be discussed.” Event officials confirmed Garneau as the headliner for the summit. The president and founder of Québec-based Louis Garneau Sports is involved in the business side of sports gear and athletics on a global scale while still continuing his involvement in the field of competitive cycling which culminat- ed in his representing Canada at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Garneau is one of 10 confirmed leaders and experts in business and economics who will head seminars and workshops during the summit. Also on board for the event are Mike Lew- is who will be talking about “commonsense strategies” for social, economic and envi-
ronmental change; Paul Born on the topic of community ties; Christopher Rees on alternative energy projects and programs that can benefit the rural sector, Pierre Cléroux concerning economic prosperity in the rural sector, Rahaf Harfoush on work and business in the 21st-century Informa- tion Age society, Tonya Surman on the link between social innovation and the econo- my, Brock Dickinson concerning emerging sectors in the rural economy, Robin Morris on food hubs and local food resources in the economy, and Peter McDermott, who will talk about MDI, a successful 50-year so- cial enterprise. More details on the rural summit, includ- ing workshop schedules and other special features, will be posted as they are con- firmed on the event website at www.som- met2014summit.ca.
