We know that 1 in 4 people in Canada is working with some form of health condition, and quite often, the “disability” is not visible. Community Futures Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Program (EDP) is an innovative program that helps people working with barriers or health conditions start and grow their business. EDP offers training, mentoring, loans and other financial support. As part of the program, the entrepreneur has access to one-on-one coaching, access to loans, technology training and mental wellness resources.
To be eligible for Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Program, you must:
• Have a self-disclosed disability or ongoing health condition
• Live in rural Alberta
• Have a viable business idea
• Be able to contribute in some way to your business
