Hey YODL - nation, I just got off a call with a new brand and realized that we should celebrate all the cool stuff that entrereneurs are doing in Canada to support one another and help get their brands noticed by new customers. Two programs I know about are - [Gifts of Goodness](https://www.canadianwomeninfood.ca/shop) - [Freebruary](https://www.freebruary.ca/) In both cases these programs are designed to get your new and growing brand into the homes of people who may become your long term customers. Both of these programs are Ontario based but I'm sure there must be others like them in other parts of Canada. So, if you know of other opportunities for our CFIN emerging food brand members to work with other entrepreneurs to use contests and ecommerce to be better together, pop some links below.
