Going Global Workshop: An Introduction to International Trade – March 1st in Hanover

There will be a series of seven different workshops (please see flyers).

The first one (An Introduction to International Trade) will be held in Hanover, Kitchener and Thunder Bay.

Target audience:
The workshop is tailored to small and medium companies (SME). The workshops are sponsored by the Wood Manufacturing Council and the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry. Preference will be given to participants of the woodworking industry, however we believe we have enough seats to accommodate every interested company.

Companies, considering starting to export in the near future, as well as companies with some export experience will benefit from this workshop. The content of the workshop is industry neutral, however some of the case studies are from the woodworking and furniture industry.

The content of the Introduction course will help owners, middle management, sales, shipping and finance staff to get a better understanding and will help preventing costly mistakes.

After participating in the introductory course companies can decide on the more detailed courses held in Toronto/ GTA.

Quill Boxes made by Cape Croker women at Hanover Public Library

The Hanover Public Library is now home to a beautiful collection of quill boxes, designed and created by First Nations craftswomen from Cape Croker. Quill boxes are a beautiful, traditional handicraft. This collection of quill boxes is mainly the work of Lorraine Besito and her daughters and granddaughter. The collection was generously bequeathed to the Town of Hanover by the estate of Bill Henhoeffer.

This unique collection can be viewed during library hours: Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m.
