Canadian agricultural producers and processors are able to access a wide range of government funding to offset the cost of strategic growth and investment projects. With so many companies operating in this sector across the country, federal and provincial governments offer targeted funding to drive business development. As a result, forward-planning companies can access thousands or even millions of dollars to complete projects that unlock growth potential.
Canadian agri-food companies should consider tapping into government funding to offset the costs of their upcoming strategic growth projects.
Webinar participants will be equipped with the information needed to develop a government funding plan to capitalize on this government funding program. This includes an overview of eligibility requirements and resources to optimize the application process.

The Greater Stouffville Chamber is pleased to offer Special Interest Groups (SIGs) as part of our initiative to enhance member engagement and connectivity. These SIGs are communities within our Chamber that focus on advancing specific areas of interest, fostering collaboration among members with shared goals.
Currently, we have launched two SIGs:
Each SIG is led by a Chamber member and is designed to drive change and produce solutions through communication, meetings, and organized events. These groups provide unique opportunities to network with peers, share resources, and develop strategies to address challenges specific to their focus area.
Participation in a SIG is exclusive to Chamber members, making it an excellent opportunity for professional growth and community building. If you or someone you know is interested in joining one of our SIGs, please contact us at taya@stouffvillechamber.ca for more information and to secure your spot.
