that locally,” explains Chief Administrative Officer Luc Lahaie. Thanks to this robust sector, Hanover plays a vital role in provincial food production. The presence of major processing plants, including dairy facilities in New Bothwell and Grunthal and a poultry processing plant in Blumenort, strengthens and secures the municipality’s agricultural supply chain. Beyond farming, the RM of Hanover is home to numerous agri-support businesses. “One thing that I find unique about us is that we have lots of contractors and self-employed people who run businesses out of their residences,” says Councillor Curtis Dawydiuk, who oversees economic development as one of his portfolios for the municipality. From fertilizer suppliers to welding and fabrication shops, Hanover’s continued success ensures food security and sustains thousands of jobs within the municipality.
