Testimonials

In the months since I partook in the R-Purpose MICRO course, the Objectives and Key Results session has been extremely useful and relevant to our business. This session gave our team the opportunity to determine the three core objectives that are guiding our business, and the corresponding key results that we are looking to attain. We are committed to following these objectives in both high-level decision making and day to day operations, to ensure we can keep a clear focus on the things that truly matter for our business.

Kieran Klassen
Head of Business Development, Heartwood Farm & Cidery

The program has helped me build a foundation on the basic knowledge needed for a sustainable business. For a lot of what was taught, I either didn't know or I didn't realize there was a better way of doing what I was already doing. The coaching from Provision and the connections with the cohort were invaluable.

Alejandra (Ally) Melo
Sales and Marketing Director, Polar Tropical Fruit

R-Purpose MICRO challenged the way I approach the business and how we present ourselves as a company. It was great to work with and learn from other leaders and like-minded entrepreneurs.

Josh Cormier
Chief Executive Officer and Head Distiller, Pepprell Distilling Co.

The Provision Coalition team over exceeded my expectations with the R-Purpose MICRO program. The mentorship provided after each session was appreciated and they really went the extra mile in making sure we understood the concepts. After finishing the program my team and I are using everything learned to continue to grow our business and leverage our HOW and our WHY. Having participated in the program has also allowed for networking and new opportunities to arise. I am very thankful for the PC team for their hard work.

Local Guelph-Wellington Food Business

It is because of Provision's efforts that I have become more cognizant of circularity, even though I was practicing it from a handling perspective, I did not consider a food waste or "pay it forward" way of processing.

Shelly Walsh
Owner, Wellington Made

This program (R-Purpose MICRO) really opened my eyes to just how much underpins a successful business. The folks at Provision Coalition have so much great knowledge, experience and expertise in the space and their commitment to helping other local food businesses is more than apparent. I now have the foundation in place that will help drive my business forward, and provide the necessary focus to ensure goals and objectives are met. Having circularity be the central tenet of the program will lead to more resilient companies and a more robust, resilient and sustainable food industry.
