Food Products: Services and Halifax Thursday

food products: I think the aging population can certainly provide opportunities, according to The Chronicle Herald. It's another sector for growth, for young people to provide services and products needed by them, Eileen Lannon Oldford, CEO of Business Cape Breton, said in Halifax Thursday. Local entrepreneurs are already providing services such as lawn-mowing, home maintenance, personal assistance and healthcare and have now started employing more people as their startups expand. She told the Chronicle Herald that new entrepreneurs bring great ideas, including a diverse range of food products and services for elderly Capers. In addition, Oldford said a large population of elderly Capers means more potential opportunities in the medical and scientific field despite an ongoing provincewide doctor shortage that is especially acute in Cape Breton. Oldford spoke after a provincial standing committee meeting that brought together MLAs and representatives from Cape Breton Regional Municipality and local business organization including her own.
