In May 2007, the Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation (CRRF), Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador (MNL), and researchers at Memorial University and the University of Kentucky started an extensive research project with assistance from the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Labour Market Development Agreement to assist stakeholders to better understand the interdependencies between urban and rural communities and labour markets. The research presented in this report represents one of the most extensive assessments and inventories of regional governance activities and regional organizations (e.g. committees, organized interests, and divisions of various government departments) undertaken in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
