We started #SmallBusinessEveryDay to encourage Canadians to support small businesses from coast to coast, every day, in any way they can.

About the Campaign

#SmallBusinessEveryDay is a year-round initiative that encourages Canadians to support the independent businesses that make their communities unique by keeping their loonies local.  

Launched in 2020, the campaign has now entered its fourth year and is helping shed light on the important role small businesses play in supporting our local economies.

Why Support Local?

Small businesses make life better. They prepare our morning coffee, repair our cars, give our children their first jobs, sponsor our sports teams, support our fundraisers, and so much more; they’re always there for us when we need them. Now it’s our turn to be there for them.

Supporting small has a BIG impact on the local economy. From funding local literacy programs to sponsoring community gardens, donating to food security initiatives and supporting extracurricular activities, when local businesses thrive, they channel their success back into their communities.
