We’re about creating a stronger, more vibrant community, by bringing together the private sector, the voluntary sector and aspiring entrepreneurs. It’s about being a space unlike any other space that currently exists within the St. Margaret’s Bay area.

 The St. Margaret’s Bay Community Enterprise Centre (SMB CEC) is a facility where local volunteer groups and businesses can come together to work and share community projects, experiences, resources, and knowledge. It’s a place for everyone to work together to help businesses and community groups improve life for everyone in the St. Margaret’s Bay area.

It all started back in November 2014, after a very well-attended ONE St. Margaret’s Bay community meeting, organized by the St. Margaret’s Bay Stewardship Association. At the meeting, it was agreed by various community groups and development agencies that there was a great need for a physical location to provide a local hub for meeting, working, sharing, supporting, and inspiring.

That needs were outlined and identified:
• Somewhere for drop-in conversation, socializing and networking; 
• A permanent location for the Seniors Association of St. Margaret’s Bay and other not-for-profit members; 
• Serviced office and meeting spaces, staffed by volunteers from the location’s partners;
• Resources for social enterprises and entrepreneurs; 
• Space to deliver training programs for local volunteer groups and businesses; 
• Somewhere that would help with and facilitate accessing grants and other funding, including ;  allowing for the delivery of government services in the area.

And so, the Community Enterprise Centre was born.

We invite anyone who wishes to be part of the CEC community and help build on what has already been created to get in touch with us by email at info@smbcec.org, by calling us at 902 826 1680, or by stopping by during our regular hours, 9 am to 4 pm, weekdays.
