Our speaker this evening was Dr. Lynne Siemens, U Vic School of Public Administration. Dr. Siemens spoke about her research on "Rural Businesses—Opportunities, Challenges, and Policy Implications". Dr. Siemens explores how policy (at all levels of government) can help rural businesses flourish. Her study focused on rural Vancouver Island where transportation (access) is limited. Thank you Dr. Siemens for a very interesting and informative presentation.
