Smiths Falls
| Crossroads: Beyond Boom & Bust
For almost 50 years, Smiths Falls was proudly known as the chocolate
capital of Ontario. That changed when three big employers shut down,
including the iconic Hershey's plant. As longstanding manufacturing
jobs disappeared, the town had to reinvent itself. In 2013, Smiths
Falls took a gamble and became the headquarters of a brand new
medical marijuana company.
