Chambord – Supporting businesses so they can seize economic development and diversification opportunities that are promising for the future contributes to economic development in Quebec’s regions.
That is why Brenda Shanahan, Member of Parliament for Châteauguay‒Lacolle, on behalf of Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for CED, announced a total of over $1.5M in contributions to assist four promising projects for the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region.
The recipients are the Corporation du parc régional de Val-Jalbert, Réfrigération Nordic, RPA Technologie and Alimentation Nouvelle-Orléans.
These CED investments will contribute to the growth of businesses and organizations, whether by supporting them in acquiring new equipment, equipping them to increase their performance, or raising their profile. A backgrounder with details on each project is available here.
The Government of Canada recognizes and supports businesses and organizations that are a source of pride in their communities. Quebec’s economic growth relies on organizations with strong roots in the regional economy; they are key assets in building a sustainable, inclusive economy.
“By supporting entrepreneurs and organizations, the Government of Canada is giving each region the tools it needs to prosper and adapt to the different challenges of our economy. The lasting relationships CED cultivates with businesses make it possible to target investments that will strengthen the competitiveness of organizations and SMEs in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region.”- Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for CED
