Federal Government supports New Project in Westville to Assist New Business Start-Ups

Oct 4, 2024 | Local News

The federal government is backing the Town of Westvile in a new initiative to support new business start-ups and revitalizing the downtown core.
Central Nova MP Sean Fraser says the town has come up with a creative idea; asking for federal support to build five kiosks for new entrepreneurs who are starting a business, but couldn’t afford a full store front location.
Fraser says the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency is providing $113,000 to the project.
Mayor Lennie White says this project is additional evidence of how positive change is coming to the town and demonstrates the desire of town council to bring new jobs and new services to the residents of Westville.

When Howard, a radio veteran and one of the original Broadcast News anchors, founded Broadcast Dialogue in 1992, he saw a need for both timely delivery of Canadian broadcast industry news, but also recognized the importance of creating a sense of community.

989 XFM is very proud to be the winner of the 2020 Station of Year – Small Market award.
