Build, Buy, Belong: Where Local Business Grows
Entrepreneurship can be rewarding, challenging and sometimes lonely, and no one should have to do it alone.
OCCA Communities Association is proud to be a Presenting Partner of Build, Buy, Belong, a WeBC event series coming to four BC communities this fall. At each event, you’ll hear honest stories from local entrepreneurs about building and buying a business, navigating uncertainty and finding support along the way, and you’ll connect with organizations that help entrepreneurs from every background take their next step.
The events are open to current business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs and anyone thinking about starting or buying a business.
