“Staying on Track: Monthly Workshops for Downtown Success During Construction”
This spring, Launchit Business Exploration Centre is excited to launch the Construction Café Workshop Series—your monthly, interactive boost for staying resilient and thriving through downtown construction. Held on the second Monday of each month from 8:00–9:30 a.m. at the CNRA Clubhouse, beginning May 11th, these sessions offer practical tools, expert insights, and hands‑on strategies tailored specifically for downtown businesses. From customer service and marketing to financial preparedness, accessibility, workforce flexibility, and post‑construction recovery, each workshop is designed to give you timely, actionable support as the project progresses. Join us for a hot coffee, helpful conversation, and a chance to connect with fellow business owners as we navigate construction together and keep Minto’s downtown strong, vibrant, and ready for what’s next.
Now is the perfect time to invest in your business’s future in the Town of Minto.
As our downtown undergoes important construction and revitalization, we’re opening the door to new possibilities—backed by programs designed to support you every step of the way.
The Town of Minto is committed to helping businesses grow by encouraging the redevelopment of vacant and underutilized properties across our entire urban area. Whether you’re refreshing a storefront, expanding a service, or transforming an empty space into something new, we’re here to make it easier—and more affordable.
We’re not doing it alone. The County of Wellington also offers a suite of additional incentives for eligible property owners and tenants in key sectors, giving you even more tools to bring your vision to life.
With multiple levels of support available, there’s never been a better moment to invest, build, or re‑imagine your business in Minto—especially as we shape a stronger, more vibrant downtown together.
Minto is supported by a powerful network of regional partners who are ready to help businesses thrive throughout downtown construction. The LaunchIt Business Exploration Centre, Minto Chamber of Commerce, Saugeen Economic Development Corporation, Business Centre Guelph Wellington, Workforce Planning Board of Waterloo Wellington Dufferin, and the All Aboard Palmerston Revitalization Committee all work together to offer hands‑on support, expert guidance, workforce insights, funding opportunities, and practical tools tailored to local business needs. With this strong team behind you, Minto ensures that businesses remain resilient, connected, and ready to grow as we build an even better downtown for the future.
