Enterprise Cape Breton Corporation
- Enterprise Cape Breton Corporation
Enterprise Cape Breton Corporation (ECBC) is a Canadian federal Crown corporation which promotes and coordinates economic development throughout Cape Breton Island and adjacent areas in the eastern Nova Scotia town of Mulgrave.
ECBC was established in 1987 to provide a specific geographic focus for the federal government's regional economic development initiatives in the economically depressed region which was undergoing an adjustment from a resource-based economy centred on the coal and steel industries. The town of Mulgrave, on peninsular Nova Scotia was added, since the town had undergone dramatic decline following its bypass as a ferry port and railway hub with the 1955 opening of the Canso Causeway.
Based in Sydney, in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality, ECBC is administered by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and is the responsibility of Industry Canada.
