This week, we'd like to send a big shoutout to the small businesses in our foodservice community! #SmallBusinessWeek kicked off yesterday, and Restaurants Canada has urged all MPs to visit local restaurants to highlight their importance in Canada. This week celebrates the vital role of small businesses in our economy and communities. Ninety-one percent of Canadians view independent restaurants as essential—not only for meals but also for supporting the economy, creating jobs for youth, as well as building culture and promoting and supporting local artists. Let’s celebrate our contributions! Share your community stories and post a selfie at your restaurant or a local spot with #LoveYourLocal to highlight our industry’s impact.
