Hi!<br>
<br>
Sorry for the lack of a good introduction, but we wanted to see if you'd like to be involved with an awesome project that started this morning.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color: #505050;font-size: 13px;line-height: 150%;text-align: justify;">
<br>
One of our directors, Michael Legary has been selected as the Manitoba Finalist in the BDC Young Entrepreneur Competition, as a finalist, Michael has proposed an innovation project which the Canadian public gets to vote for. Michael and his company Seccuris are proposing to award twenty-two grants for maker and hackerspaces which have or add a mandate around business development in their community. "Their commitment to continue innovating in their own ways, while posing the question about how they can help their members, volunteers and community develop new business ideas is one small step in changing the way we look at innovation and entrepreneurship in Canada." says Michael.<br>
<br>
What could this mean to your space? Up to $3500.00 cash to improve your space in anyway you see fit!<br>
<br>
If you would like to help me promote the project and politely bug people to vote for the gruelling twenty day period it would be greatly appreciated.<br>
Voting will be via Facebook and/or a campaign website. The person who can get the most voters to come back daily will most likely be the winner.<br>
<br>
Involvement would entail retweeting, liking and clicking vote buttons online once a day, as well as sharing the information and blog posts I will be doing daily with as many people as you feel are appropriate.<br>
If you have a whack of friends or contacts in other provinces that would also be especially helpful.<br>

<br>
The contest runs from May 30th until June 19th and voters can submit daily. <br>
