Eastern Ontario on the map for investors
According to a CBC News report, a team from Carleton University is developing a first-of-its-kind app for Eastern Ontario that will “digitally map and recreate businesses in small towns — from Ottawa to the Toronto border, along the St. Lawrence River and northwest to the border of Quebec near Algonquin Park — hoping to attract investors.” The app will allow business development by showing the location of resources throughout the region. The phase one prototype is estimated to launch in 18 months. Click HERE to read that report.
