Today is Small Business Saturday!

Today, Saturday, October 20th, is Small Business Saturday in Canada! Show your support for the economy, great service and your neighbours by showing support for your local small business. After all:

  • Small businesses are responsible for 42% of Canada’s private sector GDP;
  • Approximately 5 million Canadians are employed by small businesses, which is 48% of Canada’s private sector labour force; and
  • Between 2001-2010, over 47% of new jobs were created by small businesses in Canada.

It’s a pretty day today in Accordion City — what better time to discover (or rediscover) your neighbourhood’s gems?
