Enter the Entrepreneur Challenge

 

Have you ever dreamed of opening your own business?

Now's the time to make that dream come true.

2017 is going to be the year of opportunity and Gateway Mall wants to lead the way! So, Gateway Mall is holding a contest for any new business entrepreneur to "*Win A One Year Lease*"

We are inviting all new business entrepreneurs the opportunity to submit their business plans in hopes of being selected as the winner of the Entrepreneur Challenge and making their own dream come true! The judging panel will consist of representatives from Gateway Mall Management, Prince Albert and District Chamber of Commerce, Prince Albert and Area Community Futures, Business Development Canada and a local Prince Albert legacy business entrepreneur. 

Finalists that are selected must participate in a free "Business Presentation Workshop" hosted by Prince Albert and Area Community Futures and facilitated by Woodland Communicators Toastmasters, as part of the challenge.  Finalists will then have the opportunity to "Pitch" their ideas to the judges and public at a Chamber of Commerce Luncheon hosted by the Business Development Bank of Canada on March 30, 2017.  The winner will be announced the next day, Friday, March 31, 2017 at the Gateway Mall.
