Want to succeed in markets outside of North America but lack the knowledge, network, or resources?

Each year the Global Leadership Program (GLP) helps Canadian companies looking for a strategy to gain entry into a foreign market. A select group of Schulich MBA candidates under the supervision of the School’s experienced faculty are matched with another group of MBA students from one of our partner institutions in the target market or country to develop a tailored market entry strategy for the candidate company.

Headwaters Tourism (Caledon, Dufferin & Erin) has developed a planning calendar for Canada 150 celebrations taking place in the region.

The purpose of the shared calendar is to encourage event organizers to consider events throughout the entire year and avoid challenges with too many activities happening on the same dates.

Event organizers are welcome to not only submit their events by email to Headwaters for inclusion in the planning calendar, but also to review the Canada 150 planning calendar before booking your event date.

Share your plans with Headwaters
