Rural Entrepreneur Stream 

The Rural Entrepreneur Stream will allow the Smoky River Region to offer permanent residency to entrepreneurs who want to start a new business or purchase/invest in an existing business. The Rural Entrepreneur Stream will help expand our local economy and assist with succession planning for the small businesses our Region relies on.
