Last week OBIAA said goodbye to the Ontario Grant Coordinators for Digital Main Street. Through this program, we served 229 municipalities, 70,808 small businesses, and created 815 jobs across Ontario. We were grateful to work with some of these coordinators for the last 5 years. Thank you for your service, we wish you all the best!
