🌱 Today marks the first-ever Rural Ontario Week!

Rural communities are home to entrepreneurs, farmers, manufacturers, skilled tradespeople, tourism operators, small businesses, and innovators who create jobs, support local economies, and help build strong communities.

From small towns and rural communities to northern and remote areas, rural Ontario is home to people and places that make our province stronger.

This week, we’re celebrating the people, businesses, community leaders, volunteers, and municipalities that make rural Ontario such a special place to live, work, and build a future.
