You’re Invited: Small Business Information Session for Immigrants, Newcomers and Refugees
The City of Victoria is excited to welcome you for another Small Business Information Session. Hosted by the City’s Business Hub, this event is for newcomers, immigrants and refugees operating or looking to open a small business in the City of Victoria.
At this session, you will learn about resources available through the City’s Business Hub and several regional organizations that can connect you with great business information, resources and settlement support.
Whether you're at the idea stage, ready to launch or just looking for some advice, this session will connect you with the tools you need to get your business to the next level.
The morning will start with a welcome from City Economic Development staff, followed by a brief presentation session from event partners. You can then visit information booths to network, ask questions and gather information to learn about all the resources to support you in realizing success within your business or start up.
