Small Business Week in Canada is October 17th to 22nd! It’s a celebration of entrepreneurship and small businesses from coast to coast. What better time to celebrate what an amazing community Peterborough & the Kawarthas is to own and operate a business in?

This supportive community has not-for-profits and professionals to help guide, build and bolster entrepreneurs on the path to success. Everywhere you look, successful small businesses are popping up. Let’s celebrate that, because chances are pretty good that you know a few of the owners.
