Client Success Story – The Celebration Station in Cardigan
Pauline Kelly and her dedicated team have made the refurbished train station a central hub in Cardigan. Armed with only a business idea in mind, Pauline accessed critical bookkeeping training via the Rural Action Centre in Montague before she completed her business plan with Skills PEI and applied for a start-up loan from CBDC East. At the Celebration Station residents and visitors alike can re-fuel with tasty eat-in or take-out meals; gather for community celebrations; participate in a yoga or art class; or find that perfect gift designed by local artisans.
Contact the Client Information Officer in your local centre if we can be of assistance.
