Rural Economic Development Strategy

Ontario is opening consultations on a new provincial Rural Economic Development Strategy. With the help of rural leaders and people across the province, the government will chart a path forward for small towns and communities.

The province is committed to fostering economic growth throughout communities across Ontario. The government understands that a strong and dynamic rural Ontario is essential for the province’s economy. That is why the province is consulting with stakeholders and the public to help inform the development of a new Rural Economic Development Strategy.

This will help to improve economic opportunities, create jobs, and support economic growth and resilience in rural and Indigenous communities.
