 Business Development Tour Offers Fresh Ideas to Food Processors 
The Surrey event is scheduled for Tuesday, November 5 at the Cloverdale Rodeo & Exhibition Fair Grounds. Doors open at 4 p.m. – presentations begin at 4:30 pm.
Candice Appleby, SSFPA Executive Director, is excited about what the tour offers small business. “The demand for BC food products is growing at a rapid pace, and we want to make sure that new and existing agri-food businesses have access to the tools they need to help them meet the growing demand.”
Each event includes 4 presentations:

  • Things You Need to Know to Start a Food Business!  Learn about the steps to entering the food business, and available tools and resources designed to help you along the way.
  • Adopting Digital Technology  Learn how to integrate your website with social networks to market your products and information using affordable e-commerce solutions (TOTALSnap). Find out about our e-commerce learning modules, tools and resources. Presented by Hosting Nation.
  • Grow Safely! with WorkSafe BC  Learn how to grow safely. WorkSafe BC statistics show that injury rates are significantly higher—twice as high in 2010—for small food processors with 10 – 19 workers, compared to those with fewer than 10. Presented by WorkSafe BC
  • Food Safety Tools and Resources  Learn about the extensive online resources available to food processors for food safety planning through the Food Safety Portal. These practical resources include an extensive document library and regulation roadmap, as well as online courses available through our Learning Management System (recall, traceability, co-packing, plus training courses for food processing workers). Doors open for registration and networking at 4 p.m. Nourishing refreshments will be provided. Sessions start at 4:30 p.m. There is limited seating and pre-registration is required, so please register early. The after-hours event is offered at no charge.
