The Regional Development Program (RDP) — Southwestern Ontario Development Fund — can help your business expand operations, improve productivity and become more globally competitive.
In addition to potential financial support (loans and in some cases, grants), the RDP is using an updated, streamlined approach to help you get the right services from across government to support and expedite your project. 

In June 2019, the Ontario government announced the expansion of the LCBO Convenience Outlets program.

Since the announcement, the LCBO has authorized businesses in 87 underserved communities across the province to sell beer, wine and spirits on its behalf. In addition to the ongoing openings, the LCBO is launching a new Request For Proposal (RFP) to invite applications from retailers who are interested in becoming a LCBO Convenience Outlet.

Local businesses are invited to learn more about the program by contacting the LCBO Convenience Outlets team at convenienceoutlets@lcbo.com with your contact information for a return call/email.

There is no fee to apply, and the LCBO will accept applications until Wednesday, November 20, 2019 at 2 p.m.

The full RFP documents are available by clicking the button Business with the LCBO.
