On May 15, 2025, Ryan Gibson shared insights a lunch and learn session co-hosted by the the Community Foundation of Grey Bruce and Brightshores Health Systems Foundation. The event brought together over 30 lawyers and professions to explore how rural areas are places of wealth and to understand that this wealth is increasingly mobile. Without careful consideration, much of it could leave rural areas as younger generations move to urban centres. The presentation shared recent research demonstrating that inter-generational transfers of wealth could play a crucial role in supporting rural communities. The opportunities for inter-generational transfers however is time sensitive! This presentation explored how philanthropy could play a huge role in sustaining rural communities and how professional advisors could be part of the solution.
