Federal economic development agencies are regional organizations delivering federal economic development programs tailored to different parts of Canada. Each region has its own agency: Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario (FedNor), Prairies Economic Development Canada (PrairiesCan), and Pacific Economic Development Canada (PacifiCan). These agencies fund business development, innovation, tourism, community economic development, and infrastructure supporting economic growth. Municipalities interact with these agencies to access funding for local economic development projects, community facilities, and initiatives that create jobs and attract investment. Programs change with government priorities, so municipalities maintain relationships with regional agency offices to stay informed about available funding opportunities.
