October is Small Business Month in British Columbia and is our opportunity to celebrate and highlight the innovation, success, and resilience of our province's 500,000 small businesses – making up 94% of all businesses in the province. There's no shortage of stories to tell of business owners and their teams overcoming obstacles and achieving remarkable growth.

Greater Vancouver Board of Trade and TELUS Business invite you to a panel discussion with small business owners to hear their stories of passion, purpose and perseverance in igniting their growth.
