Justin Ian Lee, Local Owner, Marmalade Advertising

"CEED did a great job of verifying information I knew and teaching me information I didn't. The level of personal connection you can have with the instructor is terrific - hands on learning is key for me. Not only was the CEED experience valuable, but they went on to be a client with the business they helped me start. Highly recommend."

Glen Matheson, Owner, Mr. Appliance Halifax

"CEED programming gave me the confidence to start making service calls. As a CEED alumni it helped me get a little loan which was vital for me to start. With CEED’s various workshops it helped me set up my exceptional frontline service, service delivery, online marketing and accounting just to name a few."

Tabitha Anderson, Owner, Tabitha Anderson Coaching

"Starting your work as an entrepreneur can be lonely and there are so many different things to consider. CEED's Incubator program gave me a place to connect with like-minded peers, experienced professionals to bounce ideas off of, and the tools that I needed to get off to an informed start."
