Join the Rural Alliance

SERA CV came to the conclusion that we could play a significant role in providing support, education, and a model for the participant organizations and others across rural Central Ontario. By building a connecting rural alliance, offering both face to face and electronic platforms, SERA CV can lead the creation of connectivity that rural community developers and social enterprises need and desire to increase the success of their own socio-economic community development initiatives. SERA CV can be a catalyst for collaboration to help diverse groups work together to build improved and more resilient rural communities.
