National Small Business Week is an annual celebration of entrepreneurship that has been celebrated for over 40 years.

Did you know:

Canada has over 1 million small businesses currently in operation!
For statistical purposes, a small business has between 1-99 employees, but most have less than 10.
These small businesses employ over 8 million Canadians.
By comparison, only 2.5 million Canadians are employed in medium sized businesses (100-500 employees).
In 2019, Canadian small businesses contributed 36.7% of our gross domestic product (GDP).
