November 1, 2024 – Vancouver, British Columbia – PacifiCan

Across British Columbia, small businesses are creating jobs and strengthening communities. PacifiCan is committed to ensuring that entrepreneurs across the province have the resources they need to grow their businesses.

That is why today, the Honourable Harjit S. Sajjan, Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada (PacifiCan) announced $2.7 million in PacifiCan support to Small Business BC.

Small Business BC plays a critical role providing the tools and guidance that small businesses need to reach their full potential. Small Business BC offers free resources including business advisory services, workshops, networking opportunities and mentorship. The funding announced today represents a continuation of the longstanding partnership between PacifiCan and Small Business BC to support small businesses as they create local jobs, vibrant communities and inclusive opportunities in British Columbia. 

This evening, Small Business BC will celebrate its 21st Small Business BC Awards, the largest awards competition in the province dedicated exclusively to small businesses. These awards recognize entrepreneurs for their steadfast commitment to building their businesses, bringing value and diversity to the B.C. economy. 

PacifiCan is also a proud supporter of the Small Business BC Awards.
