Build resilience in your business using circular economy principles
We're proud to have partnered in 2025 with Project Zero to offer the Circular Economy Accelerator to Saanich businesses.
This program helps to improve your bottom line and insulate your business from tariff impacts by:
- localizing supply chains
- fostering innovation and collaboration
- optimizing resource use
- and uncovering operational efficiencies, cost savings and new revenue sources
Designed to deliver value without a heavy commitment, the program requires just a few hours of time over a two-month period.
The accelerator, regularly valued at $5500, was available at no cost on a first-come, first-serve basis over 2025-early 2026, thanks to support from federal and local funding partners, including the District of Saanich. Enrollment is always free for Indigenous-owned businesses.
Businesses and organizations are invited to book a 15-minute virtual discovery call by visiting project-zero.ca/accelerator.
