APPLICATIONS CLOSING SEPTEMBER 30 - CANADA DIGITAL ADOPTION PROGRAM

For the past two years, SEDA and our strategic partners have been pleased to deliver the Grow Your Business Online stream of the Canada Digital Adoption Program. Program funds remain accessible until September 30.

Please encourage eligible businesses(view program for parameters) in your community and region to submit an online application. A student of Sask Polytech(part of the program's skills development component) will reach out as the next step to discuss and assess the business needs and how the one time grant of $2400 can increase their ecommerce capacity.

This is an ideal opportunity to help businesses adopt new online technologies including cybersecurity tools, platform subscriptions and licenses.

BEWARE OF CLONE PHISHING EMAILS CLAIMING TO REPRESENT SEDA OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS

A common strategy of scammers is to use established suppliers  ( banks, courier companies etc) and membership based organizations such as SEDA to misle email or text recipients into clicking on links and attachments.

These attempts are becoming more frequent and we encourage you to be cautious.

Unless you are expecting a package(ie courier company or Canada Post phishing) or an ETF ( from a supplier or partner), refrain from clicking or opening the attachment. Check the actual email address(hidden) of the sender to determine if it aligns with the name of the originator.
