It's Small Business Week – a perfect time to reflect on the impact of small business and entrepreneurs in the communities. Small-to-Medium sized businesses are the foundation of the Canadian economy, accounting for 99.7% of all businesses.

This year’s theme is, Forging the Way Forward, and we encourage our local business to share stories of their business and inspire other entrepreneurs to grow their ideas.

We also want to recognize the importance of supporting our businesses by buying local whenever possible and encourage everyone to plan your holiday shopping close to home this year!
