The Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP)

The Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP) is a multi-million dollar Government of Canada initiative announced in the Summer of 2006 that will promote rural socioeconomic development in Eastern Ontario, lead to a more competitive and diversified regional economy, and contribute to the successful development of businesses, job opportunities and sustainable, self-reliant communities. The fund will support business development, skills development, retention and attraction of youth, and access to capital.

Although there is no formal deadline to apply for funding we strongly encourage those interested to apply as soon as possible. Applications will be assessed by the 1000 Islands CDC on a first come first considered basis until all funds have been committed. Applications received by the first Thursday of the month will be reviewed within that month. You are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
