The Digital Main Street program is available to support local main street small businesses in the Minto and Hanover areas! In partnership with the Ontario Business Improvement Area Association (OBIAA), and with the support of the Ontario Government, the towns of Minto and Hanover are proud to be a part of providing the Digital Main Street program.
Home to four Downtown Areas (Harriston, Palmerston, Clifford and Hanover) and a diverse small business community, we are pleased that OBIAA has awarded us with the Digital Service Squad grant. This grant has enabled us to hire our very own Digital Service Squad Member to provide support to help small businesses adopt digital tools and technologies towards the development and growth of local main street small businesses in Minto and Hanover.
Digital Main Street is a program and service that helps main street businesses achieve digital transformation. The program is built around an online learning platform, structured training programs, and provides support with the use of a Digital Service Squad.
