Celebrating October Small Business Month
Every October, we recognize the vital role small businesses play in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and strengthening communities across the country.
We’re excited to work alongside Doane Grant Thornton to deliver valuable programming and resources designed to support the Abbotsford small business community.
Whether you're a small business owner, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone who champions the local economy, this month offers a meaningful opportunity to learn, connect, and celebrate the success of small businesses.
Featured Speakers:
- Ed Fast, Former Minister of Export Promotion, International Trade and Economic Development of Canada
- Stewart Muir, CEO of Resource Works
- Tracey Bodnarchuk, CEO of Canada Powered by Women
How can Fraser Valley businesses weather global trade shifts and still thrive? At this Leaders Lunch inside the Chinook Helicopters Hangar, national thought leaders and local voices will unpack how infrastructure, trade, and industry growth, from agriculture to clean tech, impact our region’s future. For small business owners, it’s a chance to see the bigger picture of where our economy is heading and how your business can play a role in shaping it.
