Acting as a true advocate for the interests of the Francophone economic sector, a disseminator of economic information, and cultivator of initiatives that promote a thriving business community in British Columbia, the SDECB creates stimulating employment projects, puts in place services tailored for local companies, and works to upgrade economic sectors that have a shortage of workers and skills, as well as developing sectors.
