Ontario Rural Routes 2008 celebrates 9 years of serving the regional tourism sweeps of this great Canadian province. Our specialty is small business located in the more remote and picturesque parts of Ontario. Using innovative "data-scout" technology, our team wastes no time in getting the greatest entrepreneurs in the rural settings up and interactive on the world wide web. These entrepreneurs love the work they do, and most realize this is a smaller world than 50 years ago, and want to showcase not only their skills, but the pristine and delightful land around them.

Nothing is more enjoyable than seeking to understand the changes shaping the once agrarian landscape...the water and water-front hunters, the baby-boom retirement shift to more satisfying lifestyles, the golfing and green-space enthusiasts...the 80 km/h biways are the arteries to relief.

I encourage you to consider your lifestyle with care...to examine the lives of those living in the less frantic townships and villages displayed on this web directory. I have met many articulate and passionate business people doing what they love and being creative when the services around them are limited. Festivals abound, heritage buffs build archives, out-of-doors enthusiasts rent canoes and bicycles, pioneering vintners protect fruit buds and most notably, the successful rural industrialist is diversified with a long range plan.

What we are not is a 411 service...this is already being done well...what we hope to tease out of the rural routes are people and places you would want to discover were you to visit in the future.

Come and explore your rural heritage with me...if you are here from out of the province, visit our international tourism directory, and tell your youthful tech grads that they don't have to fight traffic every morning to make the rent. Move to a cozy wood heated farm house within 4 km. of a telecom switch, sign on to a DSL, and start uploading. There is a wealth of skill-sets to capture and promote regionally. Be imaginative. Be different.

We pride ourselves on the foundation we have built with the best graphic designers, innovators and secure hosting facilities in the world. Read our prospectus with confidence and be prepared to grow with us.
