EDA would like to congratulate Michelle Levasseur from the Town of Devon! Michelle is the successful candidate for the EDA scholarship to IEDC's first Alberta course held in Edmonton: Entrepreneurial and Small Business Development.

I can’t tell you enough how thankful I am to have opportunities such as these to obtain funding support to attend workshops, conferences and educational sessions. We are a small community so due to a limited budget we have to very carefully choose what we attend….so without receiving this, I would not otherwise have access to the session. Greatly appreciated. - Michelle Levasseur, EDO Town of Devon.

Registration is still on going so don't miss out on this course. Learn how you as an economic development expert can create the climate that encourages entrepreneurial and small business development in your community.
