The networking event is hosted by the Community Futures Fraser Fort George and has an emphasis on diversity of business, industry, trades, and non-profits in the local/regional area. This year’s theme of “Ignite Together” recognizes that through collective efforts, we can enhance the well-being of the people, businesses, and communities we serve.

The theme this year is “Ignite Together” and this seems fitting given the shift to an inclusive conference and the economic climate that we are all navigating together. With this, it is our wish that together we will learn, grow and thrive in our businesses, communities and families. This requires us as individuals to embrace new learning and face new challenges while leaning on those around us, and this is what the LEAP Conference offers to all!
