Waterloo townships get $3 million

The Federal Economic Development Agency is giving the rural communities within the Waterloo Region $3 million to create business opportunities, especially in agri-food, clean tech and electric vehicles.

North Dumfries mayor Sue Foxton said “it's so exciting because people see townships as sleepy little villages that do nothing or they see us as aggregate because North Dumfries is the third largest aggregate producer in Ontario." 


"This [investment] is job creation. This is life. It's innovation. It's growth. It's development. We're vital and we want the world to know it," she told the CBC.


The other townships are Wilmot, Woolwich and Wellesley.
