Ontario on-farm diversification entrepreneurs are no strangers to innovation. Read OPPI’s featured article in the Globe and Mail, “Why fluxing is a good thing for family farms” now! https://t.co/9DZNSzxOHi

@WiltonConsult Thank you! I’ll definitely take a look at the report!

Interesting take on the impact of municipal capacity on planning proactively for agriculture. Some really great examples of initiatives from across the GGH. Would love to see more of this across the province 🌾

“The most vibrant cities are ones that prioritize the one element that gives them character: their people.

If more places reduce the space for cars and give it back to people, then any city can become a more social, healthy and happy place for everyone!”

Planners & architects often talk about "the missing middle" in terms of housing, but more impactful on urban character is what you might call "the disappearing small".

Standards of living & *expectations* of luxury have skyrocketed in Canada incl for the middle-class.
