Find out about new funding opportunities for your business or organization at the Summit from Naina Sloan, Vice-President, PacifiCan Programs and Partnerships, at the ‘State of the Island’ Economic Summit.  

‘Introducing Pacific Economic Development Canada (PacifiCan)’ will feature Naina speaking about PacifiCan’s role, priorities, and funding opportunities specific to BC and the Island region in support of economic development.
