Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canadian Council on Rural Development : The Canadian Council on Rural Development (CCRD) was created in 1965 and was administered by the Department of Forestry and Rural Development. Its legal mandate derived from the Agricultural and Rural Development Act (ARDA) of 1966-67. The council had no political power; rather, it served in an advisory capacity for the Minister. CCRD had five main functions: considering questions referred to it by the Minister; providing a forum for the expression of views, comments and suggestions by national organizations; facilitating consultation between the Minister and leading experts in rural development; ensuring continuity and coherence in Canada's long-term rural development policy; and, facilitating public understanding of Canada's rural development program. There were no members of the government at any level on the council. Half the council was made up of designated representatives of associations and organizations interested in rural development. The other half consisted of experts appointed by the Minister. In 1969, responsibility for the council shifted to the newly created Department of Regional Economic Expansion. The council was disbanded in 1979 following budgetary cuts at DREE.
