The Growing Strathroy-Caradoc podcast has launched! This series was developed by the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc’s Economic Development Department to highlight why the community is a place where people and businesses grow deep roots.
With a population of 24,000 people, it would be easy to assume that Strathroy-Caradoc is a sleepy part of Southwest Ontario, but new residents and businesses — from independent shops to multinational power players — are flocking here. The Growing Strathroy-Caradoc podcast aims to unpack the reasons behind the growth.In this episode, we talk to insiders at two of Strathroy-Caradoc's fastest growing manufacturers, Autotube and MetalCor, about why they've chosen to do business here, what's keeping them, and whether they think they can keep up their growth for the long run in this part of southwestern Ontario.
In this episode, we explore what's behind Strathroy-Caradoc's residential growth by talking to two locals with very different experiences of the community. One is a long-time local who grew up here. The other is a newcomer who just arrived last year. Despite their differences, they often have similar things to say. Oh, and these guests aren't just residents. They're also employees of the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc, which gives them extra insight into the community. By the end of this episode, there'll be sharing intel that even the locals might not know.
In this episode, we delve into the safety of Strathroy-Caradoc with insights from Police Chief Mark Campbell and Acting Fire Chief Steve Beasley.
