York Region celebrates the economic contributions of small businesses
On behalf of York Regional Council and The Regional Municipality of York, it gives me great pleasure to recognize October 20 to 26, 2024, as Small Business Week and celebrate the invaluable contributions of York Region’s diverse business community.
Local entrepreneurs and business owners play a crucial role in driving innovation, creating meaningful employment and fostering a sense of community that makes York Region a great place to live and work.
From family-owned shops to tech startups, small businesses are the lifeblood of our local economy, and their success is central to the prosperity of our entire Region. As a Council, we are committed to supporting these businesses by providing the tools, resources and programs that help them grown and adapt in an ever-changing economic landscape.
On behalf of more than 1.25 million residents who call our communities home, I extend my gratitude to every small business owner and employee for your hard work and dedication. Your efforts continue to make York Region a dynamic place to invest and thrive.
Happy Small Business Week!
Wayne Emmerson
