Just for You - Rural Canadians
Almost 9 million Canadians -- about 30% of Canada 's population -- live in rural and remote areas of the country which occupies 9.5 million square kilometres, or around 95% of Canada's territory. In rural Canada, as in urban Canada, good health is a major resource for social, economic, community and personal development.
