This program is currently being run for a limited time in British Columbia and is aimed at helping smaller communities in the Province. Prospective applicants have a list of communities which are participating in this program, as well as the industry that they are looking to promote. Unlike the base program, prospective applicants will have to make a trip to the community they are applying to in order to meet with the representatives and review their business ideas. Clients are expected to have their business concept ready and complete for the community to view and discuss.
