Congratulations to Diamond North Express on the launch of their new business in Prince Albert!

I stopped by the Prince Albert Farmers Market and spotted KIYAM COFFEE putting the Come to Market Tent to good use!
Of course, I had to investigate... for research purposes.☕

The verdict? AMAZING coffee, Fantastic service, and a pretty good example of what can happen when you give your business a chance to meet customers face-to-face!😃

Thinking about taking your business to a market but not sure where to start?
Have a product you want people to try?
Want to test out your business idea?
Ready to get your name out there?
Just want to see if market life is your thing?

COME TO MARKET!🎪

The Come to Market program helps entrepreneurs take that first step into the market scene because sometimes you just need a little space, a little support, and a whole lot of hustle!

So, what are you waiting for?⁉

Come to Market. Meet customers. Make connections.
MAKE BUSINESS HAPPEN!🌱

Is your business working as well as it could be?

Running a small business often means spending so much time working in your business that you rarely have the opportunity to step back and work on it.

Join Organizational Strategist Carolyn Carleton for a hands-on, 3-hour workshop designed to help you take an honest look at your business.

Together, we will examine what is working, what is not, and where small, strategic changes could make a significant difference.

You will work through key areas of your business, including:
• Business structure and operations
• Roles and responsibilities
• Systems and processes
• Marketing and communications
• Customers and opportunities
• Financial sustainability
• Time, capacity, and priorities
• Planning for what comes next

You will leave with a clearer picture of your business, your priorities, and a practical 90-day action plan.

October 21, 2026 | Small Business Week
