Good Morning Michael,

client. We evaluate every submission we receive carefully and enjoy seeing the passion for entrepreneurship in this 
region. 
Although we receive many high-potential business applications, as a not-for-profit we must focus on a strict guideline of 
our service area - Peterborough, and the Kawarthas. 
Based on reviewing your application, we are unable to accept you into our program at this time due to your location. 
We do however encourage you to use the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE), a platform for innovators to collaborate in
