Communities Economic Development Fund’s Look North Initiative is looking to develop a business mentorship network in our region.

A Look North Advisor with CEDF Ken Slobodian says what they’d like to do is create a network of business mentors and those are people who have been in business over the years in northern Manitoba and successfully been able to take care of themselves.  He adds being that it’s so hard to start up and open a business in northern Manitoba it would be nice if someone who was going to try knew they had the ability to talk to someone who has already been a success in northern Manitoba whether it be fisheries, small business or manufacturing the fact that somebody out there has already done it and succeeded and will volunteer their time that’s the mentor they’re looking for.

Anyone who is interested in mentoring can call Slobodian at 204-307-0570.
