6. Competition 2013 Centres funded in the first Competition have the opportunity to apply for: An extension to its funding period, and Additional funding All Centres competing for additional funding will also be considered for an extension of their funding period.

7. Today’s meeting is a great opportunity for You and Us! • We are very successful invested $5.5 M marched to $138 M. • Plus Jobs 252 full time, 1100 indirect and 600 construction. • Helped by a tremendous network, many in this audience. • Now have the opportunity to move up a notch. • WE ARE READY! • We refreshed the SCA Strategic plan two years ago. • We updated the Business Plan early this year. • Contacting a list of stakeholder needed to validate our Business Plan. • TODAY is a golden opportunity for you feedback and advice. • We want some of you to join us a partners.
