Community Insights Workshop Series
The Community Insights Workshop Series will assist the County as it works to develop its Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan. The County’s goals for the Workshop Series are to:

• Equip a diverse range of stakeholders with the knowledge and tools necessary to foster economic development within local communities.
• Gather important community feedback and economic development priorities that will inform the direction and goals of the County’s Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan.

The County is partnering with local municipalities, the Dufferin Board of Trade and Headwaters Communities in Action to develop content and facilitate the Community Insights Workshop Series. The Workshop Series invites participation from a wide range of stakeholders, including upper and lower-tier municipalities, local industry, not-for-profit organizations and residents.
