We’re so grateful to everyone who came out to celebrate our ribbon cutting yesterday!

Your support means so much as CBDC Central PEI and Central Development Corporation step forward together, focused on growing and strengthening our rural communities.

A big thank you to Simon's Snack Shoppe for hosting, to Brendan from Past-Port Summerside for the town crier duties, to speakers from AACBDC, BDC, and our partner organizations for sharing their insights, and to everyone who came out to support the rural business community!

✅ CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME! 🎉

Simon's hosted it's very first event today and it simply rocked! 💃 🕺

Around 65+ people arrived in support of CBDC Central PEI and the Central Development Corporation joining forces here at the historical Wm. Callbeck Centre in Central Bedeque, PEI.

While this is not 🚫 a merge, they will be working in harmony to increase the economic growth in our rural communities. 🏘 There will be an increase of fun and lovely people poking about the shoppe starting very soon! ✨️ (they may or may not already be addicted to the sandwiches... 👀)

Get excited, start engaging, and dream big: let's boost our rural community! What type of services or businesses would you like to see?

Drop a comment below! The neatest idea 💡 will get a FREE SOURDOUGH LOAF (of any flavour) 🥖

🏳️‍ Due to the event today, we will be CLOSED to the public THURSDAY to put our dining room back together. 😸 FRIDAY back to regular menu and hours 10AM - 5PM 🏳️
