Stay Informed on the Ontario Elections:
Your Province, Your Business, Your Future

Ontario voters head to the polls on June 7 and there is a lot at stake for the foodservice industry. Operators have faced escalating costs for years with no relief. The substantial rise in the cost of doing business in Ontario has resulted in a difficult operating environment. Ontario restaurateurs have razor-thin profitability, averaging just 3.4%, which is the lowest in Canada. 

Our members struggle with a number of issues including:

• Highest rents in the country
• Stifling alcohol monopoly
• Highest hydro rates in North America
• 32% increase in labour costs, adding over $1.8 billion in overhead

We encourage you to stay informed and active within your community to let the candidates know how your business is being impacted.
