Along with a large cash crop industry, one of the biggest employers is a large steel manufacturer, Steelway Building Systems Inc. Lloyd Perrin, Director of Asset Management Development Services for Central Elgin, reports, “There is also a large fuel supplier with its headquarters in Central Elgin that has satellite officers throughout Ontario, but most of the residents commute outside of the municipality for work, to places like St. Thomas and London. Depending on where you are in the municipality, the commute is 20 minutes into London, and that tends to be good for residents to be able to live here and have a short drive to work.” Martyn adds, “People have come from across the province to Central Elgin to work remotely. They’ve moved here from the Greater Toronto Area, but can still carry on their jobs from home. CENTRAL ELGIN, ONTAR IO Mayor of Central Elgin, Sally Martyn
