ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Community Economic Development is a process by which members of the community come together out of a common interest, concern for, and desire to develop their community. This process takes an approach that builds long-term community capacity and spirit.

The Centre For Business works with organizations and municipalities on community economic development initiatives that will benefit our communities.

The nature of our partnership or support can take many forms, such as youth initiatives, small business or networking events in a variety of sectors, such as tourism, housing, education and training, and business.
