Our entrepreneurial eco-system published this opportunity!
This spring, the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) is collaborating with Startup Canada, Export Development Canada (EDC) and UPS to present the second annual Canadian Export Challenge to showcase and support the global ambitions of 15,000 Canadian entrepreneurs.
Following a successful pilot in 2018, this year the Canadian Export Challenge is scaling to more cities and supporting more entrepreneurs, with stops in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Mississauga, Ottawa, Montreal, and Fredericton in May and June, and a Final Showdown in Toronto in October.
Thanks to Marni Heather (GV 21), who leads the Events Committee at the Chamber who put on the event in collaboration with the Chamber staff. It was an amazing event.
This BDC event will take place from 2:00 – 5:00 pm just before the Henry Bernick Entrepreneurial Awards on March 27, 2019 at Georgian Theatre
The guest list is limited to 50 people, who will also get a ticket to enter the awards show (a $25 value).
The BDC event will feature the stories of 3 different women entrepreneurs (including our own Jen CB) and also a presentation on 5 Best Tips to help your Banker Finance your Business (for when you are ready to grow.)
The featured speaker for the HBEC Awards event will be Manjit Minhas of the Dragon’s Den.

On behalf of CBC’s hit television show DRAGONS’ DEN, the show’s producers will be holding open auditions looking for the next big ‘thing’ in Barrie on Saturday March 9, 2019
DRAGONS’ DEN gives aspiring entrepreneurs the opportunity to pitch their businesses to a panel of wealthy Canadian business moguls – the Dragons. Successful pitchers will have a chance to earn real investment – from the Dragons’ own pockets!
This is a fantastic opportunity for entrepreneurs and small business owners to come down and pitch their business concept for the chance to appear on national television. We would love to see as many people audition as we can!
I’ve attached a flyer which has more details. Additionally, please visit our website for a complete list of cities and dates, http://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/
Please let me know if you are able to send out this information to your members and community.
Thank You,
Hi everyone
Note: Due to poor weather, we are holding the GV After 5 Networking meeting on Zoom (email patricia@growvantage.com for the Zoom link)
We’re talking about video at next Tuesday’s GV After 5 (and doing some interviews for the GV YouTube site/Facebook page about your business).
We are having our monthly GV After 5 at Suite Success (411 Huronia Road at Big Bay Point).
We’re hoping to have 2 of our experts there to talk to…. Ian McIntosh (GV35) who teaches the video class, and James Martin (GV46) Magic Cut Media & Promotion (who is currently doing the video profiles of the Women in Business Finalists).
We are also making an announcement that day about a new collaboration with another organization who is developing a communications channel for GVers!
I’d like to put out a media release to encourage media to attend (more possible exposure):
Please RSVP to patricia@growvantage.com – and also let me know if you are going to be there and if would like to schedule an interview!
Thanks!
