The Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce and Community Futures of Central Kootenay have partnered to organize a number of business related workshops/seminars to be held the week prior to and during Small Business Week (October 13 14 18 & 21 2010). These education events are designed to increase the knowledge of individuals in the Creston Valley who either presently operate a small business are thinking of diversifying/expanding their present business or are planning to either start a new business or purchase an existing business. CBT funds will be used towards the costs associated with this event.
