Ontario Rural Capacity Assessment (ORCA)

The Ontario Rural Capacity Assessment (ORCA) Project is an inventory and assessment of community-based organizations and supporting resources that improve the economic capacity of rural locales in Ontario. The inventory will be undertaken by using a template developed for gathering data related to Community-Based Economic Development at multiple levels which can be easily updated. The information will be accessible via the ROC site, utilizing flexible web-based tools capable of mapping the data and providing options of analysis tailored to visitors. Analysis of the data gathered will help in the determination of needs, issues and gaps in current services and programs. This project has the potential to act as a model for other provinces and jurisdictions.
