The Orangeville & Area Small Business Enterprise Centre (SBEC) in partnership with the Province of Ontario, is once again delivering the popular Summer Company program. Summer Company provides local youth with funding and guidance as they start up and run their own businesses during the summer months. This summer, four enterprising students will be operating businesses in Dufferin and area. The summer companies represent a wide range of sectors including agriculture, retail, technology and service. Summer Company 2020 participants include:

Using secondhand materials, Shadi creates one of a kind décor that could be exactly what your space needs.
