The Wright Spot is a newer Jamaican business in Jarvis, bringing authentic flavours, family roots and a fresh entrepreneurial spirit to the community.

For the Jason and Stacey, moving to Jarvis has been about more than opening a business—it’s been about finding a welcoming, family- and community-oriented place to grow.

Stories like theirs are a reminder that supporting local businesses isn’t just about where we shop or eat. It’s about creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to put down roots, investing in our communities and helping build a stronger local economy right here in Haldimand County.

Earlier this month, Haldimand County staff had the pleasure of touring members from Invest Ontario around to some of our key manufacturing businesses, including Battlefield International in Cayuga, and Tatra Safety Boots in Dunnville.

Manufacturing has long played an important role in Haldimand County’s economy, supporting local jobs, businesses, and communities while contributing to the strength and diversity of our local economy.

It's always a pleasure to showcase what Haldimand has to offer!
