President's Letter

 

This year, Ontario East Economic Development Commission celebrates 25 years of championing the region as an exceptional place for investment.  As a membership-based organization, with representation from communities both large and small, Ontario East plays a vital role in bringing together collaborative partners and stakeholders with a focus on regional economic development.

Through consultation with its members, Ontario East has clearly identified and defined industry sectors that the region has a distinct investment attractiveness.  Marketing strategies in these key areas – advanced manufacturing, tourism investment, knowledge-based economy, logistics, food – have been created and implemented to showcase our region to a global investment audience.

Under the leadership and governance of a passionate  Board of Directors, Ontario East will continue to work with our members to identify opportunities for all, with the hopes of creating a strong and unified approach.  We invite you to become an engaged member by actively participating in our workshop, meeting and conference opportunities, along with our targeted sector teams.  The Ontario East Advantage! is here for you to discover.

 

Yours in economic development,

 

Craig Kelley

President
