We Have a Lot to Offer - Support Local

I love it here! A saying so often heard from both residents and visitors and for good reason. What makes our community special is the unique landscape, agriculture, businesses, tourism opportunities and culture, which are the vital ingredients of our local economy and community well-being. Local businesses create jobs and drives our community’s vibrancy. Enjoy everything Meaford has to offer, such as, one of a kind shops, restaurants, breweries and wineries, markets, local events and experiences. See our website for how you can explore and play locally at www.meaford.ca/explore and check out our business directory at www.meaford.ca/directory.
