Innovation at the Town of Innisfil

The Town of Innisfil is known for its forward-thinking approach to service delivery for our community. As an organization and municipality, we are opening new doors through innovation!

Innisfil Transit

We launched a global first: a public transit system powered by Uber. Innisfil Transit has brought on-demand, affordable, and safe transportation to our community, attracting attention from around the world! In 2019, Council approved the Fair Transit Program to help low-income households in Innisfil.

Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrencies are growing in popularity with over 5% of Canadians currently owning some form of cryptocurrency. Given that’s the case, it was important for us to be ready for the growing demand and to make sure we always have a variety of payment options available. We are the first municipality in Canada and second in the world to accept cryptocurrency (e.g. bitcoin) as a method of payment for property taxes.

Innisfil Accelerates

We partnered with the Toronto Metropolitan University (Ryerson) DMZ (Digital Media Zone), the #1 ranked university-based accelerator in the world, to bring world-class mentorship and support to start-ups in our community in the form of an accelerator. When combined with free, newly-renovated office space, Innisfil is now able to attract world-class companies to the area with the goal of transforming the economy from sleepy and rural to tech-focused and modern. 82% of the community commutes elsewhere for work; by bringing well-paying, high skilled jobs to Innisfil, we can reduce this commuting and create a more connected community.
