This strategy assists rural Ontario in building strong, vital communities with diversified economies and healthy social and environmental climates. To that end, the ministry works collaboratively with rural communities, municipalities, businesses and organizations to undertake economic development initiatives. It also works to bring forward a rural Ontario perspective to provincial policies and programs and initiatives with the federal government.
