Thanks to their vast experience, small business owners know what it takes to succeed. Small Business Week is an opportunity for them to share this knowledge while learning from other experts how to utilize innovative methods to ensure their businesses continue to grow and thrive in this highly-competitive world. During this special week, to be held this year from October 16 to 22, the Business Development Bank of Canada will be paying tribute to all business owners and managers, while giving them an opportunity to highlight their success and meet with experts who specialize in the growth and development of small businesses. Once again this year, the theme for both Small Business Week and the Young Entrepreneur Awards is "You're the power behind the Canadian economy, let's share the energy!" We all know a determined entrepreneur who has energy to spare and can turn great ideas into a profitable business venture. After all, behind every success story is a great idea. Let's take advantage of Small Business Week to pay tribute to these exceptional people in our community. Conferences, trade shows, seminars, workshops, business luncheons and more will be organized across the country as part of Small Business Week. These activities are great opportunities for entrepreneurs to network and discuss innovative ideas. Small Business Week is also the perfect time for all of us to encourage, support and congratulate our local entrepreneurs who contribute, year after year, to our bustling economy.
