RURAL ONTARIO NEEDS AFFORDABLE ENERGY TO DRIVE GROWTH The need for natural gas across rural Ontario continues to be a top priority for the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) in 2017. The cold winter weather is another reminder of the importance of rural Ontario having access to affordable natural gas energy. We need the government to commit to a real investment in natural gas infrastructure across rural Ontario to provide a competitive edge for farms and rural businesses. Ontario farmers, business owners and rural residents could save more than $1 billion in annual energy costs if natural gas was accessible across the province. That’s money that can be invested to create jobs and support a growing and vibrant rural economy.
