WHO ARE THE GDBP?

The Guysborough District Business Partnership (GDBP) was established in 2022 as a non-profit organization with a primary focus on enriching communities and fostering relationships in three main areas: community development, tourism, and small business support.

We are actively building relationships with existing groups that share our goals while continually seeking new partnerships to expand our network. The GDBP’s overarching priority is to promote growth in all these areas.
