Ontario Celebrates Small Business Week
October 17, 2022
TORONTO – Today, Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, issued the following statement in recognition of Small Business Week:
“Ontario’s small businesses are the backbone of communities across the province. From family-owned corner stores to brand new start-ups, everyone knows a small business that has made a difference in their community. This Small Business Week, we celebrate the over 400,000 small businesses in Ontario and their more than two million hard-working employees.
Behind every small business is an entrepreneur with a vision, passion and purpose. They represent the best of the Ontario Spirit – generosity, grit and determination. Our government is proud to support small business owners by providing them with the tools and resources needed to grow their businesses.
We’re working around the clock to help small businesses succeed because we see first-hand the impact they have. Many small businesses provide jobs to people from their communities and support local events and causes. When Ontario’s small businesses succeed, local families thrive, and the economy continues to grow.
So, this Small Business Week, we celebrate Ontario’s small businesses and the ambition and entrepreneurial spirit of small business owners and thank them for all that they do for our communities. Together, we’ll continue to build Ontario.”
