Over forty Chamber members attended the 5 to 7 at BDC on Tuesday, October 16, 2021 to celebrate Small Business Week. The BDC has been active in community for 36 years. President Tracy Eddy highlighted that small to medium sized businesses are the backbone of the economy and that as of December 2011, there were over 1.2 small businesses in Canada with at least one person on their payroll. Furthermore, 5.1 million Canadians are employed by small businesses-that is 48.3 % Canada’s workforce.
It must also be mentioned that the catering of the event was prepared by Lucia Morrison and was very well received. Lucia was a participant in the first cohort of the Business Immigrant Mentorship Program. (She can be reached by phone at 547-9580 or by email at [email protected]
