According to the Canadian Index of Wellbeing, living standards are measured by several indicators:
  • Average and median income and wealth
  • Income and wealth distribution
  • Income volatility
  • Economic security
While these indicators themselves are interesting, looking at them in context of our rural communities could give us more understanding on how to improve the overall quality of life.  Join us on Thursday, June 24, 2021 to for our monthly Big Exchange roundtable to discuss the factors on the living standards in rural Canada.  Learn about our two discussion leaders this month.

Diane McKenzie has recently completed a BA in Psychology at the University of Lethbridge. She has three grown sons and actively ranches with her family. Diane has been involved in the development and management of independent businesses and was a founding member of the Warner Girls Hockey School board.  Diane knows that running a family business can be complicated and is interested in guiding business events through to successful conclusions. She understands that complex family business discussions where people have different views and interests can benefit from good facilitation that can make the difference between success and failure.

Heather Sweet: MLA for Edmonton-Manning (Democracy & Ethics, Agriculture & Forestry Critic) Since being elected as the MLA for Edmonton-Manning in 2015, Heather has proven to have a passion for making Albertan lives better, a dedication that lead to her being re-elected as MLA in 2019. Before her time as MLA, Heather spent over a decade as a social worker, helping vulnerable Albertans. As a registered social worker in child protection services, Heather focused on working with at-risk youth. She also worked with the Metis Child and Family Services Society.
