A true Dartmouth success story.

I just announced a $100,000 investment in Made with Local Snack Foods, so they can grow and keep doing wonderful work in our community.

Sheena Russell and at the team at Made with Local have worked hard to produce a great product in an ethical and socially responsible way.

By partnering with social enterprises like DASC IndustriesStone Hearth Bakery & The Flower Cart Group, they’ve ensured that their success helps cut down barriers by providing individuals with important opportunities to learn and develop skills through their vocational training programs.

When you hear Sheena talk about the work they do, you can hear the passion and the goodwill she has for our community.

This investment through the Women’s Entrepreneurship Strategy, will help Made with Local purchase automated processing equipment to increase production, meet growing demand for their products, and explore new export markets.

Our Government believes in women-owned businesses, and in entrepreneurs like Sheena Russell. And we look forward to watching you continue to grow and contribute to our community.
