Community

We Know Communities Thrive When Small Businesses Thrive

Our Community Partners Know This as Well

In addition to working with entrepreneurs, we take a ‘big picture view’ of the health of the local businesses economy, and are drivers of regional innovation. We help build strong, vibrant, sustainable rural communities through our unique approach to community economic development:

Grow – We connect and build networks of small business leaders and champions who are invested in the local well-being of their community.

Diversify – We support emerging industries and encourage innovative thinking and planning in rural economies.

Lead – We have over 30 years of local experience and partner with respected rural businesses, non-profits and governments to develop a vibrant and sustainable business environment for South Western Ontario entrepreneurs.
