Centre for Family Business and Regional Prosperity [Dalhousie University]

Dalhousie University's Centre for Family Business and Regional Prosperity is dedicated to the support and promotion of family businesses and their extraordinary contribution to the economy of Atlantic Canada. Our region's long tradition of thriving family enterprises is part of a national trend whereby over 80% of Canada's firms are owned by business families. Family businesses contribute time, money and energy to the communities in which they operate and provide a solid economic foundation and create prosperity in many Canadian communities. While research suggests that Canadian family businesses are uniquely successful - regularly outperforming their non-family-run competitors - we also know that they face unique challenges.
