Rural life is resilient. But rural voices need to be heard.
The HEAR Initiative at the University of Guelph is building one of the most detailed pictures of rural Ontario ever created, tracking health, housing, economy, and climate resilience across 200,000
households over three survey waves.
When you participate, you are not just answering questions. You are making sure your community shows up in the data that shapes healthcare access, infrastructure funding, and climate planning
for years to come.
Share this post and pass it along to anyone you know in rural Ontario.
