**Closer client relationships**: In smaller communities, you’ll have the chance to build close relationships with clients and become their trusted advisor. This is a connection with clients that can’t easily be built in larger urban centres.

**Thriving economy**: Rural Manitoba is an excellent place to work, with a growing economy and plenty of opportunities to build your practice. You’ll have the chance to make a real impact in the community and be part of something truly special.
