I love living in a small town, in fact, we specifically decided to move to one from a city of 250,000 people. There are many attractions, but equally there are problems, just like anywhere that people decide to live.
Rural communities are a forgotten sibling of their city counterparts. With smaller populations and services distributed across larger areas, provincial and state government officials could hardly be blamed for feeling that it would be easier to just shut down some of the smaller communities!
Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be analyzing some of the issues and suggesting solutions or methods of improving the problems.
