At The Local Option, we specialize in economic development and community-building. Our mission is to help governments, non-profits, and development partners turn local insight into action, creating more resilient neighbourhoods and thriving local economies.

With over two decades of experience at the intersection of engagement and economic development, we’ve helped drive transformative change across Canada. From revitalizing main streets to shaping inclusive growth strategies, our work turns local challenges into opportunities—building the partnerships, plans, and momentum communities need to move forward.

Our approach is rooted in collaboration, listening, and deep respect for local knowledge. We work alongside clients and communities to co-create solutions that reflect shared priorities, build trust, and deliver lasting results. Whether navigating complex projects or shaping long-term strategy, we focus on inclusive, thoughtful, and action-oriented engagement because the best outcomes are built with the people they’re meant to serve.
