DAC National Network

Northern, Rural & Remote Communities

A national project must represent more than major cities.

Distance, availability, transportation, pricing and limited alternatives can change the impact of a failed transaction. DAC wants northern, rural, remote and Indigenous community perspectives represented.

Who we want to hear from

Relevant perspectives include:

  • Northern community organizations
  • Rural advocates
  • Indigenous organizations
  • Remote-service providers
  • Local economic-development groups
  • Residents with relevant lived experience
Questions that matter

What DAC wants to understand.

  1. 01

    How do delivery failures differ outside major urban centres?

  2. 02

    Where are alternatives limited or unavailable?

  3. 03

    How do distance and freight costs affect disputes?

  4. 04

    Which communities are missing from national consumer conversations?

Review

Participation boundary

DAC intends national coverage to include communities that are often underrepresented in platform and consumer-policy discussions.
