NANAIMO – It’s time for entrepreneurs across Canada to polish their pitches to be part of DRAGONS’ DEN’s 11th season on CBC. This February, producers will hit the road on a 33-city audition tour to find the country’s best businesses in need of a Dragon investment.
Auditions will be open to the public and kick-off in Toronto on Feb. 6 in the Barbara Frum Atrium at CBC’s Toronto headquarters (250 Front St. W.). All audition dates and cities are listed below, and venues are listed online. Tour dates will continue to be updated through the DRAGONS’ DEN website.
