Your real odds
The program supported over 100 partners in 2025-26, which suggests real capacity, but the preference criteria narrow the field considerably.
Selection favors first-time applicants, businesses stretching beyond peak season, operators offering culture, heritage, or outdoor experiences, and founders from underrepresented communities including Mi'kmaw and African Nova Scotian businesses. Past participants can reapply, but they must justify the additional need.
