“Business week isn’t only about supporting the local businesses. It’s a time to celebrate and encourage business successes,” chair Brad Gavan said in a press release.
“Behind every business in our region, there is a story worth knowing; we just wish we could celebrate all the nominees with awards, each and every day throughout the year. Small business (less than 100 employees) is an integral part of the economy as it makes up 98.2 per cent of all businesses in Canada.”
