Northern Development’s network of Regional Business Liaisons throughout the north will provide their clients with access to a free suite of workbooks and resource guides from WeBC.

Clients can also connect with WeBC to access further low and no-cost training, mentorship, and access to financing.

“WeBC has been supporting business owners in the north for almost thirty years and we know the entrepreneurial spirit is strong,” says Shauna Harper, CEO of WeBC. “This partnership allows us to expand our reach and provide entrepreneurs with education and guidance to help them succeed in business.”

“We are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with WeBC, aimed at empowering Northern BC business owners. This collaboration will provide them with invaluable tools and insights, fostering growth, innovation, and resilience. Together, we’re ensuring that the North’s entrepreneurial spirit thrives and prospers.” Felicia Magee, Director, Economic Development
