Project update #25 - March 2, 2022

Closing date extended

The closing date for Expressions of Interest for council's Small Business Mentoring Program has been extended until Friday, March 11.

Existing businesses, as well as start-ups with a business idea that supports the Pioneer Valley Mountain Bike Trails, are eligible to apply.

The fully subsidised six-month program provides participants with a detailed business assessment, one-on-one mentoring sessions, practical workshop style webinars and much more.

Pilot program participant Mary-Ann Refalo from family owned and operated Walkerston-based business Retrospect Life said the program was easy to follow and she walked away with a deeper understanding of her customer and pricing strategies.
