Valley Connector Program

Reminiscing on an amazing Learning Exchange with the National Connector Program this fall... The time spent brainstorming with other #Connectors and coordinators has given Rhian so many ideas for how to develop the Valley Connector Program this coming year. Bring on 2025!!! ✨ Valley Regional Enterprise Network Valley Business Hub

Welcome to the Valley Connector Program, KP! Kamalpreet brings incredible energy into our program as one of our newer Connectees. KP joined the program with great experience and knowledge to share with his background in sales, but hoped to keep learning more about Canadian culture and ways to get connected within the community. We are so thrilled to have been able to connect him with Mike Cameron from Kings County Family Resource Centre - one of our superstar Connectors and #AnnapolisValley organizations. Thank you Mike & KP for being awesome additions to our program and for sharing your skills with us!

Meet Sucheta Arora Wadhwa! You may already know Sucheta from her involvement with the Kentville Multicultural Festival this past summer, or from being involved in community around Town of Kentville and Town of Wolfville! Sucheta has recently moved to the Annapolis Valley from India with years of experience working in marketing and communications roles. She is eager to find ways to incorporate her skills in impact organizations within the region. Know of a project or role that Sucheta can assist with? Reach out to get in touch with her! Thank you to Bridget Havercroft for being an awesome #Connector and meeting with Sucheta to further her network in the Annapolis Valley. You're the best!

One of the greatest joys that comes with being a coordinator with the National Connector Program is working with other AMAZING coordinators across the province. Meet Miranda MacLean (Western Regional Enterprise Network (Western REN)), Abhishek Bhatt (Truro & Colchester Partnership for Economic Prosperity), and Ocean Phi Long Le (Cape Breton Partnership). Together, we make up the rural coordinators for Connector Programs in Nova Scotia. It is great to meet with them monthly to chat about exciting new opportunities and support each other through challenges. 💚 Thank you to the rural team for being the best long-distance colleagues!
