Thousands of Southern Ontarians cross into Western New York to attend local colleges, visit hospitals, use the airport and attend sporting events. Western New Yorkers head to Ontario for recreation, to visit vacation homes and to provide banking and legal services to Ontario businesses. These are among the findings the Regional Institute unveiled June 14, 2007, at a briefing for its Region’s Edge research initiative, which seeks to build understanding of the scope and significance of the cross-border network encompassing the Western New York-Southern Ontario region. Nearly 100 binational regional leaders from the public, private, nonprofit and academic sectors attended the briefing.
