Business
Bruce County is part of southwestern Ontario, a sub-provincial economy which is one of the most internationally competitive in the world, exporting at least $50 billion worth of products annually. Located at the northern limits of this powerful economic zone is Bruce County - 1.5 to 2 hours from most of Ontario’s major urban centres.
Bruce County’s location gives it the advantage of competitive access to major urban markets, while offering a lifestyle afforded by the over 2,400 kilometres of pristine Great Lakes coastline.
The Bruce County domestic market is a diverse and vibrant composition of 66,000 permanent residents and 29,000 seasonal residents. This population base, along with a growing number of visitors to the area, represents a strong market force which supports local businesses.
