The Wood Buffalo Economic Development Corporation (WBEDC) will be holding a virtual roundtable on the impact COVID-19 has had on local businesses.

Small and medium enterprises will be able to learn more about the help available for our business community.

Speakers will include Kevin Weidlich, President & CEO of the WBEDC along with Staci Millard, and Vanessa Cheeseman.

“Our business community is responding and adapting to the business challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Weidlich. “We need mechanisms in place, like this roundtable, to listen to the needs of the businesses in our region during this time.”

Participants will have the chance to ask questions by submitting them directly to the moderator online or by emailing info@choosewoodbuffalo.ca.

“We encourage all businesses to participate as we can use this forum to connect and learn from one another as we navigate through these times,” says Natasha Hartson, Director of Entrepreneurship & Innovation for WBEDC.

All questions from the roundtable discussion will be posted online.

The roundtable will be on Friday, March 27 at 10 a.m.

Registration can be done online.
