The theme for this year’s summit was “Engage and Energize – Empowering Teeny Tiny Places.”

Background
Teeny Tiny Summits started in 2016 as a forum to discuss scale-appropriate economic development strategies for Ontario’s smallest communities. Teeny Tiny Summits share practical examples, lessons learned and community economic development tactics. Since inception, the summits have been hosted in every region of the province and attracted more than 3,000 attendees both in person and virtually.
The Teeny Tiny Summit is delivered in partnership the Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA), which provides funding for the keynote speaker, and the Ministry of Rural Affairs. OMAFA (now MRA) works with the host communities to deliver the program content.
