Ontario’s communities, workers and families are facing significant challenges, especially those communities with automotive, manufacturing, and resource industries. Read more here.
AMO’s Board of Directors has established an Economic Development Task Force with diverse membership to advise and support the Board on all matters related to economic development. The Task Force includes representatives from business associations, economic development staff, the provincial and federal governments, and municipal elected officials and staff.
It is designed to encourage collaboration and information-sharing with other orders of government and stakeholders at a provincial level. All of the organizations represented on the Task Force have well established efforts, programs, and resources which advance economic development in different ways. The Task Force does not intend to duplicate those efforts, but serve as a discussion forum or ‘clearinghouse’ of ideas to enhance the local economic development efforts of communities across Ontario.
