💙 Behind every small business is a story.

An idea someone decided to pursue. A risk they were willing to take. Long days, new challenges, lessons learned and plenty of determination along the way.

During Small Business Week, we’re celebrating the entrepreneurs who help keep our communities vibrant, create local jobs and provide the products and services we rely on every day.

To all of the small business owners across Frontenac, thank you for everything you bring to our communities!

🎉 Small Business Week is October 19–25!

This week, we’re celebrating the entrepreneurs and small business owners who bring ideas to life, create jobs, provide important services and help make our communities great places to live and work.

Running a small business takes creativity, resilience and a whole lot of determination — and we’re proud to work with entrepreneurs across Frontenac at every stage of their journey. 💙

Whether you’re starting, growing, buying or planning the next chapter of your business, Small Business Week is a great time to connect, learn and explore what’s possible.
