We are pleased to announce the publication of the History of the Business Development Bank of Canada: The FBDB Period (1975-1995). This book covers 20 years of our history, more specifically the Federal Business Development Bank era, between 1975 and 1995. Written by Donald Layne, a former BDC employee, this book is about the difficult decisions, hard work, innovation and team work that contributed to shaping BDC. The book contains useful insights that will help us understand where we come from and how we got to where we are today. But most importantly, this book is about the people who worked and still work at Canada’s business development bank and about their dedication to the success of business owners. The History of the Business Development Bank of Canada: The FBDB Period follows IDB: A History of Canada’s Industrial Development Bank, written by E. Ritchie Clark, that covered the Industrial Development Bank period, between 1944 and 1975. Check it out today! The History of the Business Development Bank of Canada: The FBDB Period is available in electronic format on BDC.ca, in PDF and in ePub (mobile).
