Metro is sponsoring The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair food competitions for a fifth straight year! Along with their pledge to locally sourced food, Metro is committed to finding and supporting local suppliers and manufacturers to feed Ontarians in new and exciting ways. Metro is looking for entrepreneurs who are ready or on the cusp of being ready for retail. Local food or beverage companies will have the opportunity to be assessed by Metro's Locally Sourced Program and invited to a Metro Buyer's meeting, with the potential to receive business coaching and finalize their product for distribution in Metro stores in Ontario!
We look forward to crowning this year's Royal Champions!
