Small businesses create jobs, generate economic growth and contribute to the vitality of Canadian communities. Accessing outside expertise is often beneficial in helping a small business find solutions to challenges and identify opportunities for growth. That is why the Government of Canada is supporting the Acadia Entrepreneurship Centre (AEC) so it can continue to provide essential advisory, training, innovation and incubation services to experienced business people and first time student entrepreneurs.
