Celebrate Small Business Week at SBBC
Each October, Small Business Week pays tribute to the entrepreneurs who contribute so much to our communities. They provide well paying, local jobs within our towns and cities, they bring energy, vibrancy and uniqueness to our streets, and they form the backbone of our provincial economy.
While Small Business Week 2020 has come and gone, Small Business BC provides resources and supports to empower our entrepreneurial community year-round. Below, you’ll find some of the key resources we offer.
Stay tuned for details on Small Business Week 2021 and how we’ll be celebrating at Small Business BC.
