Numerous studies over the past few years have found that the millennial generation has a vastly different approach to entrepreneurship than did the previous generation of boomers. Technology is clearly a factor as it’s now possible to run a flourishing business from home while reaching a market that could never be achieved by a bricks and mortar outlet. Shifting societal norms in the workplace are also a catalyst. The days of forever job security, generous benefits and reasonable hours have taken quite a hit since days gone by.
Millennials have earned themselves a label, “Millennipreneurs”. They are young. Confident. Unafraid of failure.

Cassidy
Cassidy Cathmoir was born and raised in Warkworth. She purchased her first home and property in Campbellford with her partner Brandon last spring. She is 23 years old. Brandon works with his dad, Master Taxidermist Robert Goudreault, in their well established family business, Woods & Water Taxidermy and Guiding Services.

She graduated from the International Career School Canada with a computer graphic design diploma in 2016 and works full time for BMR of Campbellford in that capacity. A talented photographer, she dusted off her cameras in early 2017 and began sidelining photography sessions featuring fashion, family moments and equestrian events. By November, she had officially launched Cassidy Cathmoir Photography & Design which successfully hit the Christmas market with custom mugs, wine glasses and clothing. Since then, Cassidy has developed a full line including custom wedding merchandise which she launched at a bridal show in Norwood last winter. She designs corporate logos and applies them to everything from jackets to stemware. She does leggings, tote bags, decor. Dog & Pony Show Equestrian, a Northumberland County business marketing unique dog and horse themed accessories, carries a line of her custom equestrian-themed glassware.
