Welcome to the Joint Economic Development Initiative Inc. (JEDI) website! JEDI is dedicated to ‘Supporting Aboriginal Participation in NB’s Economy.” Since 1995 JEDI has worked closely with the Aboriginal community and many stakeholders to champion economic development through four directions:

• Support of the Development of Aboriginal Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses.
• Support of Community Economic Development.
• Support of Aboriginal Workforce Development.
