Based at the UBC's Okanagan Campus, The Recent History of Occupational Structure and Regional Economic Strategy in Non-Metropolitan Regions project brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers, historians, economists, librarians, archivists, and community members.

We aim to explore, each in its own right:

▪ The history of occupational structure in particular non-metropolitan regions

▪ The possibility that this history might be a catalyst for citizens, in practice, to reflect on regional capabilities, consequently on strategies for future economic development
