Today, we celebrate the heart and soul of our community—our small businesses. As the Member of Provincial Parliament for Lambton-Kent-Middlesex and a small business owner myself, I want to recognize the vital contributions these businesses make to our local economy and culture, especially in our rural areas.
Small businesses are more than just storefronts; they are the backbone of our community, providing jobs, fostering innovation, and creating vibrant spaces for us to gather. Their impact extends beyond our region, driving growth and enhancing the quality of life across Ontario.
In challenging times, our small businesses have shown remarkable resilience and adaptability, proving that the spirit of entrepreneurship thrives in every corner of our province. Having experienced this firsthand, I understand the dedication that goes into running a small business.
I encourage everyone to support our local businesses, not just today but every day. Together, we can ensure their continued success and strengthen the economic fabric of our community. Thank you to all our small business owners for your hard work and commitment!
