Canada
The Olympics have taken over this country. As we host the world in Vancouver, there is a great deal of pride on how we are showcasing this major international event, our athletes, Canadian values and hospitality. I am sure many more people throughout the world are now taking a second look at Canada. Canada has weathered the economic downturn quite well. Each week a number of new business networks appear.
This month I take a look at two new unique networks. There are now unique clubs and networking groups that focus in on specific areas of the country, or on specific business niches. This month I discuss the WBC and CRE Online. They are both business clubs dedicated to the sharing of social capital and business building in specific industry sectors.
WBC or the Western Canada Business Network is first of its kind in Canada. Their mission: to improve communication and increase access to knowledge for businesses in Western Canada. The role of the club is to build a network of contacts with other business owners specifically in Western Canada. Members can use the online communications services, create classified ads and get responses, promote corporate events, access a library of materials and find groups of like-minded business people online to grow their business in Canada's Western Provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. The site contains a number of unique features and be found at www.westerncanadabusiness.com.
Creative Real Estate Online (CRE Online) is the place to find anything and everything you want to know about real estate investing. CRE Online is a great resource for those of you interested or just getting intertesed in investing in real estate. CRE Online started in 1999 with a mission to provide networking services to those interested in investing in real estate in North America. It now has chapters all across Canada and the United States, with new clubs sprouting up all across Canada as more as more and more people get interested in real estate investing. It provides networking, the sharing of resources and everything agents and the private investor need to build a profitable business in real estate investing. For more information see www.real-estate-online.com.
So, as you can see, networking is alive and well in Canada. Each week new groups spring up all across this great country of ours. Canada has a lot to be proud of and as we go for gold in the Olympics, there are business people building companies and networks and going for the gold, silver and bronze in business sectors all across Canada.
All I can say this month in regards to both the Olympics and networking is “Go Canada Go.”
