 Hi, I'm Sandra Miles. I'm the Vice-Chair on the Board of Directors of Small Business British Columbia and I am excited to be celebrating Small Business Month this October. It's very exciting because it's also the 10th anniversary that we celebrate small businesses in British Columbia. There are over 400,000 small businesses in BC and I know that you'll all join me in some of the celebrations that we are we are holding during Small Business Month. Please nominate your favorite small business for the Small Business BC Awards by going to sbbcawards.com and putting in your nomination there. You can also self-nominate. Together with the province of British Columbia we are putting to on free seminars which will help small businesses learn and grow and start your business. Please take advantage of these. I'm very excited to be partnering with the province of British Columbia to deliver these programs to you. Join in the upcoming My Biz Day events by looking at smallbusinessbc.ca and finding out dates that are in your area. Our mandate at Small Business BC is to ensure that all BC small businesses have access to the tools and resources that you need to grow your business. This Small Business Month we invite you to shop local. Thank your small businesses and take advantage of the many programs Small Business BC is putting on for free.
