OREA CEO Tim Hudak understands political red tape from both sides and is a strong advocate for supporting the health and growth of Ontario's smaller cities, towns and commuities like the one he grew up in, in Niagara. Big city living and opportunity is a magnet for the rural talent of our educated younger generations. Small city or town Ontario was for decades the core of our goods-producing economy, much of which has left our shores with noticeable economic impacts to smaller town Ontario since the 1970's. Rural communities are seeing an emerging trend where many Ontarians will no longer be required to live near their workplace. And business is taking a second look at the economics and social benifits of locating outside of big cities. The exodus away from the big metropolus in pursuit of a better quality of life is underway. OREA has released a policy report titled Small Towns, Big Opportunities: Unlocking Growth in Ontario’s Rural and Northern Communities. An examination of our unique socioeconomic difficulties, which forms the core of a policy report offering 15 recommendations for long-term solutions to housing, education, job creation, and access to rural infrastructure. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mike-montague4/message
