Tropical Storm Irene setting for Vt mystery novelSeptember 30,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER - Two years after Tropical Storm Irene inundated Vermont, the storm and its aftermath is providing the backdrop for a new novel by Newfane mystery writer Archer Mayor.
In his book, "Three Can Keep a Secret," Mayor, who has published 24 Vermont-based mysteries, says the book is his attempt to chronicle in fiction one of the biggest things to happen in the state for generations and something that people will be talking about for generations to come.
A number of books have been written and movies made about Vermont's experience with Irene, but Mayor's book is apparently the first piece of fiction.
University of Vermont English Professor Phillip Baruth says fiction is a way for artists and society to make sense of traumatic events.MORE IN This Just InWATERBURY CENTER The Harwood golf team closed out the regular season Wednesday on its home...

Put the Brakes on Trademark Infringement: Legal Expert Joshua Kaufman Explores the Ins and Outs of Trademark Law, with the Help of Colleague Marcia Auberger. (Advice)
Kaufman, Joshua, Art Business News
Artists today routinely incorporate trademarks in their art. Just as routinely, artists are now the recipients of cease-and-desist letters from trademark owners claiming infringement. In fact, as an artist or publisher, you may have been such a recipient, anxiously opening an envelope with the name of a law firm on the exterior and reading with increasing trepidation a letter accusing you of illegal and infringing acts. Because these letters come from lawyers that, in many cases, represent large companies, they usually have the desired effect of scaring the artist or publisher into complying with their demands.
The proliferation of lawsuits is happening for a reason. With the explosion in licensing, companies which were once flattered to have their trademarks included in artwork now see licensing opportunities, and claims of trademark infringement are becoming increasingly common against artists. Some of these claims are legitimate. Many, however, are inappropriate in that they make charges of trademark infringement in circumstances where infringement is unlikely to be found.
Defining A Trademark
A trademark is defined as any word, symbol, name, device or combination of these that are used in conjunction with goods or services (referred to as a service mark for services) to identify the source and quality of those goods or services. Words, pictures, initials, color and non-functional characteristics of a product, such as shape and configuration, can serve as a trademark or service mark. Trademark or service mark rights arise through use--such as affixing the trademark to the goods or using the service mark in conjunction with the service. Once you use the mark in commerce, you have it for as long as you keep using it. Although registration with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is not required to acquire trademark rights, federal registration provides additional benefits, and registration should be undertaken if you can afford it.
Trademark owners are required to vigorously pursue all manners of potential infringement of their marks or they run the risk of being considered to have abandoned that mark. This means that if the trademark owner knows of an unauthorized use of a mark, he or she must seek to prevent such use or control such use through a license agreement. Many companies have entire departments that will assert trademark infringement every time they view one of their trademarks being used by a third party. The cease-and-desist letter is step one in that process of enforcing those rights.
The elements for a successful trademark infringement claim have been well established under both federal and state case law. A plaintiff in a trademark infringement case has the burden of proving that the defendant's use of a mark has created a likelihood of confusion about the origin of the defendant's goods or services. The confusion created can be that the defendant's products are the same as that of the plaintiff or that the defendant is somehow associated, affiliated, approved, authorized or sponsored by the trademark owner.
The most common form of relief granted to a successful plaintiff in a trademark infringement lawsuit is an injunction against further infringement. If the infringed mark was federally registered, attorney fees would also be available to a successful plaintiff.
Determining whether an infringement has occurred when an artist incorporates a trademark into artwork requires one to view the work to see how the mark(s) are being used and to determine if such use is an infringing use of such mark(s).
In many instances, however, the trademark owner will claim that incorporating a trademark in artwork causes consumers to believe the artist is associated, affiliated or connected with the trademark owner and the trademark owner has approved, authorized or sponsored the artwork. …

DEVIER, Jeweler, Wasliintgon, Feb. 2. — Still Congress ''drags its slow length along" with hardly sufficient sign of vitality to attract even a moderato representation in tho galleries, which aro day aftor day almost empty. Tho Houso is disposing of routino business as apidly as possiblo undor tho generally blockaded condition in tho Senate, where all progress is still ohecked by Quay's statohood bill, which is fast assuming tho aspects of a real, live octopus." Tho fight on this moasuro is to tho fluish between giants, only tho more interesting becauso tho champions of each sido havo peculiarly and insoparablo linked thoir own political fato with it. In support of the bill Sonator (¿nay is cutting some fantastic capors, such as his endoavor to socuro continuous (day and night) sessions until tho bill is disposod of, and to attach it to the soveral appropriation bills as riders. In soveral cases notably, tho agricultural appropriation bill, this has beon douo, doubtless with little result beyond prolonging dobato on these urgent bills, and, possibly, to aid in precipitating tho necessity of an extra cession. At presont only, ono thing ia certain—that a largo proportion of Congress, as well as the general public, is losing pationco with present progress and tactics. Baron Sternburg, who becomes tho tomporary successor of Hen- Von Holloben as tho representative of Germany at Washington, arrived Friday night and at onco settlod down to business with a vim. Tho Baron was a close porsonal friend of President Roosevelt when hero some years ago, tho two being together almost daily, their tastes regarding athletics and tho like being very congenial. He is said to be a very approachable and business-like gentleman. The Y. M. C. A. of this city has just celobratod its fiftieth annivorsary the past week by a series of special and highly entertaining sorvices, including addrsses by Fred" B. Smith, who is without a peer as a speaker to men, flno song services led by tho Temple Male Quartet, etc. Theso services at Lafayette Opera House, havo attracted a large attendance. General Boothe, of the Salvation Army, is to be hero within a fow days to open a campaign with his army and to rovive and inspire the work ot-tho organization. Virginians hero are elated over the present prospect of soon having a statuo of General R. E. Loo placod in Statuary Hall in tho Capital, under the law providing for two representa-ties from each state, George Washington being tho single representative from Virginia so far. It depends to a groat extent upon the action of the Virginia legislature. Tho Senate, Friday formally received and accepted tho statues of Charles Carroll and John Hanson from Maryland. Tho bill creating a general staff corps in the United States Army was passed by the Sonato Friday. Ex-Secratary of State Wm. R. Day haa just accepted the appointment by the President to a position in the United State Supremo Court, to succeed Justice Shiras, who is to retire. Tho annual report of tho Capitol Traction Company for 1902 shows that tho receipts for tho year were nearly §2,000,000, and operating expenses $031,980. Total number of passengers carried during the year 31,803,390. From this it would appear that people do ride stroet cars, and that they aro profitable institutions to tho operators. The three-shift systom will go into operation at the navy-yard today as a means of expediting the completion of work ordered two yoars ago.

The Town Council hold its regular monthly meeting last night with every member present.. The session proved a lengthy one as well as one of especial interest and importance. Tim attendance of the public was larger than usual in view of tho fact, that it was generally known that several citizen's committees would likely be present to present, mutters of public importance to tho Council, and for the further reason that it was anticipated a vacancy in Council caused by the resignation last month of Mr. Chandler, as well as one on the police force caused by the failure of Mr. Gatewood to qualify, would both be filled at this regular February meeting. After the transaction of several items of unfinished business Dr. Jones moved the election of a successor to Councilman C. II. Chandler, resigned. Tho motion prevailed, whereupon the Doctor placod Mr. J. Wilton in nomination. No other nominations were made. The ballot was then taken and Mr. Wilton was elected by a unanimous vote. At a lator poriod in tho session Mr. Wilton was elected to a position on tho flnanco ¡committee to succeed Mr. Chandler, who hold a position on that committeo throughout his torm of servico in Council. A motion by Dr. Jones then pro-vailed to proceed with tho election of polico officer No. 1, the position thou vacant by roason of Mr. Gatowood's determination not to servo, Tho applicants tor tho position were special ofllcor R. A. Davis, Chas. W. Crider and W. R. Bowman, Mr. W. L. Whit-inor having withdrawn his application oarlior in tho ovoning. On first ballot Mr, Cridor was olectod, tho voto standing sovon for Crider and tliroo for Davis. The successful applicant, Mr. Crider, has tho reputation of being a man of excellent character and it is believed lie will make a cool, quiet, elllcient officer. Ho has boon for soveral years ill the employ of the Harrisonburg Milling Company as its chief fireman. A joint committeo, composed of citizons and representatives of tho town volunteor fire department, was then receibed, and their spokesmen wero on moting of Mr. Noll given leave to address the Council. Mr. Dwyer was tho first speaker. Ho stated the delegates wero thoro to ask and respectfully urge tho appropriation of an amount sufficient to install an ofllcient systom of electric firo alarm over the town. Tho sum necessary for the purpose was, believed not to bo in excess of $000. Mr. Dwyer was followed by Mr. Jno. T. Harris, who referred to tho genoral state of demoralization, which, bo-causo of no adequate system of local firo alarm, usually exists for somo minutes among our gallant firemen every timo thoro is a firo. After urging tho importance of an electric alarm systom, Mr. Harris then took up the matter of "dead ends" and stated that tho firomon, along with many of our citizens, desired to soo tho "dead onds" of tho towns water-mains connected as rapidly as possiblo in order that the force and body of tho wator supply may bo strengthened over town at weak places and mado more efiiciont in case of lire. Ho referred to tho destruction of tho Paul residence a fow weeks ago and was po.sitivo the main part of that building would not have burned in caso tho wator supply had been abundant and of sufficient pressure. His remarks wore supplemented by those of Mr. Jno. R. Saum, chief of the department. Mr. Saum suggested that a committee bo appointed by Council to confer more at leisure with them, oxamino various methods of firo alarm, etc., and report at a called mooting. At tho conclusion of tho remarks by tho visitors, Councilman Haas moved to refer tho matter of tho town's installing an electic alarm to tho committee on lights and safety for pompt action. Tho motion was unanimously adoptod. Mr. Haas then stated that it had been for somo tiiiio tho policy of the Council to connect "dead ends" as rapidly as circumstances would por-mit and that an appropriation wan made annually for that purpose. After the firemen's committeo had withdrawn Jasper Hawse, Esq., was introduced and the statement was made that he represented citizens ot the town who had been before the County Hoard of Supervisor to protest, against, an excessive county levy upon the citizens of Harrisonburg. The mayor then invited Mr. Hawse to give the Council his view on the excessive county levy taxes asesssed upon the citizens of Harrisonburg. Mr. Hawse responded in a 20-minntes talk, ill which he reviewed the levy and sett lenient, of the county levy for the last, years, laying particular stress on t.lin fact that while separate itemized estimates of amounts needed for county levy purposes had been made by the Hoard of Supervisors for each of said 3 years, yet no separate settlement of this fund had been made for either, hut that this fund and the funds arising from the levy for roads, bridges and parish purposes, had all been bunched together and settled as one fund. His figures also showed that if said county levy fnnd (which is the only one to which taxpayers of Harrisonburg are required to contribute) has been settled separate and apart, from other funds, and on the I a-us of tho estimates on which the levies were made, the balance on hand to the credit, of this fund would have been at the last annual settlement of the county treasurer, exclusive of $3,300 diverted from tho bond and int rest fund, to which Harrisonburg also contributes. Mr. Hawse was positive in his opinion that tho present Hoard of Supervisors had not intentionally made the levy excessive, but had simply followed tho method adopted and in use by their predecesors for many years. Ho showed also that the county lovy for tho current year will produce moro than double tho amount estimated by tho Board as necessary for county oxpeuseB. Mr. Hawso was followed by Mr. J. T. Harris in an able presentation of facts corroborative of Mr. Hawso'» views. Both expressed the belief that the presont Board of .Supervisors will vory soon correct the matters complained of by directing that the county levy funds be set, apart and settled isoparatoly from all other funds. After tho conclusion of Mr. Harris' speech, Councilman T. N. Haas moved that tho matter of excessive levy complained of bo submitted to tho finance committee for investigation and roport, which motion was unanimously adopted. A request from tho First National Bank for rebate ot $3.75 on water tax, was referred to tho wator committee. The request for tho robate grow out of tho fact that tho Bank's present building will not bo occupied aftor April 1st. On motion of Dr. Jones a committee, consisting of Messrs. Miller, Meserole and .Jones, was appointed to secure a suitable room for use after April 1st as a council chamber. On motion of Mr. Miller the streot committeo was instructed to place a tiling of adequato size to convoy tho surfaco water under the arch at the juncturo of Mason and East Market streets, said improvement not to cost more than §15. Mr. Haas addressed Council on the great need of a crossing at the intersection of South Main and German streets, and of the urgent necessity for replacing private fiat crossings with stepping stono crossings on all streets ('outInner] on fourth ¡>nx<'- OOOOOOOOO^O^^OOOOO^OOOô^do The Young People.

I grew up in Rockville, Indiana during the 60's and 70's. In 2011, I was asked to write a book for Arcadia Publications about the town's history. What an interesting year that was - a lot of work but alot of fun as well. On page 34 I describe a building that was built in the late 1800's known as the "E.S. Bruebeck One Price Clothing and Shoes. It housed the towns first cash register and had wonderful built in glass door shelves and cabinetry. Read >
For several years I have had my eye on this item in a very good friend and long time collector's Coca-Cola collection. I like it - not because it is a beautiful piece of advertising - but because of its fragility and rarity. This is the only one of these signs I have ever seen. I am sure a few still exist tucked away somewhere in an advanced collection, but surely not many due to its lightweight construction. It is printed on an extremely lightweight paper stock. Well I traded him a bottle whistle for the arrow, and now it is proudly framed in my collection! Read >

A $750,000 grant, announced Thursday, will help the city of Vancouver start work on the extension of the Waterfront Renaissance Trail and Waterfront Park.
The Federal Highway Administration Transportation, Community and System Preservation Program grant will be used to extend the city's most popular trail about a half-mile westward from the Interstate 5 Bridge along the downtown waterfront.
Vancouver-Clark Parks & Recreation Planner Jean Akers said the grant was "great news" and will add to a $1 million state grant awarded to the project earlier this year.
The grant money won't fully cover the cost of building the trail and the park — design, permitting and construction along the Columbia River is costly and takes time.
"This is a huge project, and it will take time," Akers said, adding the city will phase the park and trail work as money comes in. "We're not in a situation where we're flush with lots of capital dollars."
The trail route and park are at about 30 percent of total design, meaning that initial permitting work and other measures are being done. In an ideal world, some of the park features could be open to the public in two years, Akers said. The city doesn't yet have a full cost estimate, but it will be expensive, she said.
"We're radically altering the existing conditions on that riverbank," she said, noting the city must mitigate for endangered species and also navigate tricky permitting to do work along the Columbia River.
The park and trail extension are part of the city's development agreement with Gramor Development, which has committed to a 32-acre mixed-use redevelopment of the former Boise Cascade industrial site adjacent to downtown Vancouver.
The city's $44 million project to reconstruct the railway and create road access to the site is under way now.
Vancouver has been studying other riverfront trail projects, including several on Portland's south waterfront, Akers said.
"The river dynamic is so powerful," Akers said. "We're trying to learn from all of these different experiences to find most effective way to extend waterfront trail."
The grant money — secured by Sen. Patty Murray with support from Sen. Maria Cantwell — cannot be used for repairs on the washed-out portion of trail farther upriver. Akers said it's more difficult to find grants for repairs than it is to get money for new construction. The washed-out portion of the Waterfront Renaissance Trail, near the Tidewater Cove Condominiums, closed earlier this year and remains fenced off to the public.
Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt thanked Washington's Senate delegation for their work to get the Federal Highway Administration grant — one of just two awarded in the state — for the trail.
"Senators Murray and Cantwell recognize the significant economic benefit that redevelopment of the waterfront will bring to Vancouver," Leavitt said in a statement. "The investment of public dollars is expected to leverage more than $1 billion in private development. The waterfront project will create jobs, provide access to the Columbia River and revitalize an area of downtown that will positively impact our community for generations to come."

DOD Procurement of Mi-17 Helicopters
GAO-13-319R: Published: Apr 1, 2013. Publicly Released: Apr 1, 2013.
Additional Materials:

- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
In summary, DOD's Office of the Secretary of Defense directed the Navy to cancel its competitive solicitation for 21 civilian Mi-17s because Russian authorities told DOD in late 2010 that, in accordance with Russian law, they would sell the helicopters only through Rosoboronexport since they were intended for military end use. Specifically, in response to letters written by the U.S. Ambassador to Russia, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed to DOD that it considered the Mi-17s to be military because they were for use by the Afghan Air Force, and therefore could be sold only through Rosoboronexport, the sole entity responsible for Russian military exports.
DOD did not assess alternative means for procuring Mi-17s after verifying that Russia would sell the helicopters to the United States only through Rosoboronexport. The Navy's original procurement strategy in 2010 was to purchase civilian Mi-17s and subsequently add weapons to them for use in Afghanistan. However, given the Russian government's determination, DOD officials stated that no alternative approaches to procure the helicopters were available to them as any attempt to procure a new civilian aircraft could be blocked by Rosoboronexport if DOD did not go through them, and purchasing used helicopters posed safety concerns. Although some potential vendors told us that, if awarded a contract, they could provide these aircraft to DOD at a lower cost, an Army analysis determined that the price paid to Rosoboronexport for the Mi-17s was reasonable and fell within the historical range of the unit price paid for similar aircraft.
DOD determined that the Rosoboronexport contract offered the Army greater access to technical information from the original equipment manufacturer and increased assurance of safety compared to previous Mi-17 contracts. However, the risk of counterfeiting may be similar. The 2011 contract with Rosoboronexport provided Army officials with extensive access to the original equipment manufacturer's facilities and allowed for technical discussions on the aircraft's design, testing, and manufacturing processes. This level of insight enabled the Army to determine that the Russians' process was sufficient by U.S. standards to certify airworthiness. However, both Rosoboronexport and other vendors have purchased new Mi-17s that came from the original equipment manufacturer--a practice used to decrease the risk of counterfeiting. Therefore, GAO found no evidence that shows how Rosoboronexport would decrease the risk of counterfeit parts over other vendors if aircraft were purchased new from the original equipment manufacturer.
Why GAO Did This Study
This letter responds to the Senate Armed Services Committee report 112-173 accompanying the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, which directed GAO to review the Department of Defense (DOD) procurement of Mi-17 helicopters through Rosoboronexport, a Russian state-owned arms export firm. In response, GAO reviewed: (1) the reasons for DOD's cancellation of a 2010 competitive solicitation for 21 Mi-17 helicopters; (2) the extent to which DOD evaluated the availability and feasibility of alternative procurement approaches for military or civilian variants of the Mi-17 helicopter; and (3) DOD's assessment of the impact that contracting directly with Rosoboronexport may have had on the risk of access to technical data, aircraft safety, and counterfeiting.

Natural Balance Indoor Cat Formula costs less than other premium canned cat foods, but, unlike many supermarket brands, you won't find any byproducts or artificial colors, flavors or preservatives in it. Natural Balance does contain grain -- not great for cats, some experts say -- but overall, reviewers say it's a good alternative to the super-pricey premium cat foods. Product testing is in place to prevent future safety issues.
High-grade meats, but also some less-desirable ingredients. Natural Balance Original Ultra Formula is higher in carbs than some experts like for cats (which are obligate carnivores that need to get most of their calories from protein and fat), and you'll find brown rice seventh on the ingredient list. That's a no-no in some experts' eyes, though less of an issue to others. Most experts give high marks to the quality of the main ingredients -- chicken broth, chicken, chicken liver, duck and salmon. Carrageenan -- a seaweed-based thickener that's also commonly used in human food -- is the only controversial ingredient, but there's no consensus regarding whether it should be a concern at the low levels that the food contains.
After recall, Natural Balance now tests every lot of its pet food. Natural Balance cat and dog foods were both involved in the notorious 2007 melamine recall, in which tainted ingredients from China made their way into hundreds of American pet foods, poisoning and killing many pets. It was also touched by the 2012 recall for possible salmonella contamination at a Diamond Pet Food plant where some of its varieties were made, though none of its food tested positive. Now, Natural Balance runs an in-house lab that tests every lot of every food before releasing it to stores. It tests for contaminants such as E. coli, salmonella and several mold toxins that can infect grain (aflatoxin, vomitoxin, fumonisin, ochratoxin and zearalenone).
Natural Balance now also gets all of the ingredients for its canned cat food from the United States, one expert source notes. And Natural Balance's cans are bisphenol A (BPA)-free, avoiding a chemical that studies have linked to reproductive problems, cancers and other diseases. Natural Balance was acquired by Del Monte Foods in the summer of 2013, and sold again -- this time to J.M. Smucker -- in early 2015. However, the company's testing program remains unchanged.
Cheaper than other premium cat foods. Natural Balance includes more grains than other premium cat foods. However, grain-free premium cat foods -- such as Halo Spot's Stew Wholesome Chicken Recipe (Est. $1.65 for a 5.5-oz. can) and Nature's Logic Feline Canned Food -- Chicken (Est. $2.50 for a 5.5-oz. can) -- usually cost substantially more. You can spend less on a supermarket brand cat food, but with rare exceptions -- such as Trader Joe's Chicken, Turkey and Rice Dinner (Est. 79 cents for a 5.5-oz. can), a quality supermarket food only available at Trader Joe's stores -- these foods use more undesirable ingredients, such as meat by-products. Some supermarket brands, such as Fancy Feast Classic Chicken Feast (Est. 55 cents for a 3-oz. can), can cost more per ounce than Natural Balance.

.- The National Pro-Life Committee in Mexico has warned that if a proposed law legalizing abortion in Mexico City is passed, the number of abortions in the Mexican capital would increase from 30,000 to 150,000 per year.
The president of organization, Jorge Serrano Limon, revealed the data while announcing that he had sent a letter to the government asking it to drop the proposal to legalize abortion in Mexico City.
He also noted that in 2006, 96 women died in Mexico as a result of clandestine abortions, and not 1,600, as the proposed law claims. He called the proposal "law of blood" that would take the lives of thousands of Mexicans.
"Legalizing abortion is true betrayal," Serrano Limon wrote in his letter, "as well as the most cowardly of crimes that attacks the life of the innocent and the dignity of women, irremissibly harming them."
He said that instead of pushing women into abortion, they should be given "options" for "resolving the psychological, social, economic and health pressures that they face."
Serrano Limon also announced plans for civil resistance to the laws and he encouraged doctors to refuse to carry out abortion.

SeedUps Canada is a Crowdfund investing platform where ordinary investors can invest in great companies offering investments in the Exempt Market. Our platform attracts a wide range of businesses, from seed and start-up stage to more established growth and expanding companies, seeking access to growth capital and a convenient forum to connect with potential investors and other stakeholders.
Using "intelligent" equity crowdfunding technologies and regulatory compliance functionality, SeedUps Canada presents private placement offerings to investors that have between $1K and $50K they wish to invest in Canadian entrepreneurs with early stage businesses. Our entrepreneurs offer their securities through exemptions made available in National Instrument 45-106, Prospectus and Registration Exemptions and all securities related activity is conducted in compliance with securities regulations.
Entrepreneurs that utilize the SeedUps Canada platform have access to valuable resources to help them deliver on their business plans and be successful. Not all companies that apply will be posted on the site. SeedUps Canada's advisors and mentors will ensure the company can pass our investment checklist as well as determine whether or not the company is a good fit for the investors on the platform. Background checks will be conducted on the entrepreneurs and other industry specific research will be performed. Ultimately, the Crowd will determine if the company is worthy of investment.
We expect that the typical SeedUps Canada entrepreneur will have already raised smaller amounts of money through friends and family and will be seeking between $250,000 and $2 million in capital through our platform – obviously supported by the business plan and financial forecasts. While some of these companies will not succeed, others will thrive and go on to raise additional funds through venture capital and traditional investment banking firms or be acquired by larger companies.
The SeedUps Canada investor understands the risk of his or her investment in the companies listed on SeedUps, but recognizes that one way to manage that risk is to invest smaller amounts into several companies. By spreading the investments, the chance of a total loss may be reduced. The SeedUps investor likes the transparency provided through the platform and is interested in helping young businesses grow.
Investors are required to self-certify their investor status as an accredited, eligible or ordinary investor and acknowledge the risk of investing in private securities prior to viewing opportunities presented on SeedUps Canada. Prior to making an investment, SeedUps Canada will perform ID validation and verify the investor's eligibility to invest in the offering in compliance with registrant requirements for Exempt Market Dealers in Canada.
On May 14, 2015, six Canadian provinces jumped into the equity crowdfunding space in a big way. BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia announced a new Start-up Crowdfunding exemption for early stage companies to raise capital. This new exemption, along with other exemptions available in National Instrument 45-106 means that Canadian companies have several different capital raising options available to them.
Depending on the stage of your company, what province you are in and the amount of capital you need to raise we can help you get prepared to find the investment you need to grow your business. For more information about raising capital in Canada – click here.
