Small Business Month

#SmallBizVI 

Celebrate Small Business Month with The Chamber

Small businesses make up the fabric of Vancouver Island’s economy. They create jobs, fuel innovation, and are the cornerstone of our local communities.

​That’s why Grant Thornton LLP is thrilled to celebrate Small Business Month and recognize the significant contributions of our island’s entrepreneurs and small business owners. Grant Thornton is committed to helping you find the way forward and ensuring you receive critical support throughout the pandemic and beyond—whether through restoring profitability, capitalizing on growth or reevaluating next steps.

Grant Thornton Resources for Small Business Owners

State of Inflation: How Canadian Businesses are Reacting
​Canadian small businesses have been dealing with the impact of record-high inflation, but research from our International Business Report suggests they’ve been slower to act.  Grant Thornton is developing a detailed action plan to help businesses not only weather the inflationary storm, but also thrive.

Celebrate Small Business Month by attending a Chamber event
Come celebrate the power of small businesses with the Small Business Month Networking Breakfast presented by Grant Thornton LLP and supported by our media partners 98.5 The Ocean and 103.1 Jack FM. 
 
After casual networking over breakfast, The Chamber Team will take the floor to begin the roundtable meetings. At each table, guests will have a chance to introduce themselves and their businesses in a 60 second elevator pitch; once everyone has had a chance to connect, it's time to meet an entirely new group of people at a different table!
 
Facilitated by The Chamber, attendees will connect with nearly everyone in the room. Try it out for yourself & grow your business!

This event is exclusive to Chamber Members.
