BDC’s Small Business Week is an annual celebration of entrepreneurship in Canada. The contributions of small business in Canada are immeasurable, making up 70% of all jobs in Canada and 30% of GDP. Simply put, the country could not maintain its standard of living without small businesses.
The efforts of small business owners day in and day out are extraordinary in the best of years. We know this year has been particularly challenging, and we are not out of the woods yet, but the resilience of small business owners during
these tough times is nothing short of astounding. On behalf of the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), the Frontenac CFDC and the County of Frontenac, we want to give a heartfelt thanks to Frontenac businesses for all you do every day. And a reminder to all, buy Canadian and buy local.
