      "This project aims to enable continued growth of Canada’s flower exports by diversifying into new global markets, expanding opportunities within the domestic market, and safeguarding access to existing export markets.",
      "This project aims to expand existing markets through increased sales both in the US and Canada. This will be achieved by increasing demand for, and awareness of, Canadian flowers while also improving US market access. Demand and awareness will be improved by a broad promotion effort in the United States and Canada, while increasing market access through the development of strong relationships with US counterparts to ensure quick resolution of border issues as they arise.",
      "The objective of this project is to develop and maintain market access, generate commercial sales and new networking opportunities, as well as reach consumers and influencers to improve their understanding of the benefits of Canadian floriculture products.",
      "Celebration and Commemoration Program",
      "The objective of the project is to develop a model and training materials related to the Greenhouse-Grown Plant Certification Program (GCP) in order to ensure consistent outreach and adoption of biosecurity and trade standards by participating facilities across Canada. Regional outreach is planned to suppliers and exporting facilities across Canada to promote implementation of standardized practices in order to prevent regional and international pest movement.",
      "The objective of this project is to conduct a feasibility study to determine if a Captive Insurance Company (CIC) could be a sustainable long-term solution to support reduce insurance premiums while providing comprehensive insurance coverage for the floriculture sector."
