Kudos on new regional economies report

The health of Ontario’s agri-food sector depends on the strength of our rural communities and regional economies. Those communities are as strong as the investments made in infrastructure to ensure they are viable, competitive, and connected.

That’s why OFA is thrilled with the new report released by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) that echoes the need for how regional economies are supported. The new report – The Great Mosaic: Reviving Ontario’s Regional Economies – is positioned as “a framework for thinking about the present and future of Ontario’s regional economies.” The Chamber report looked at the opportunities in regions across Ontario and provides 17 recommendations.
