Businesses across the province are celebrating Small Business Week until Oct. 26 as an opportunity to network, learn and share successes with their peers.

It offers Nova Scotians the opportunity to celebrate the contribution of small and medium-sized businesses in communities across the province.

This year’s theme is Success Ahead — Map Your Future Growth. Nova Scotia’s small businesses are encouraged to consider how they can help create and grow economic prosperity.

The province supports small businesses through dozens of programs aimed at helping them grow their products, markets and workforce. More information on these programs can be found at business.novascotia.ca or by calling 1-855-324-4668.

The province will host its annual Reverse Trade Show on Tuesday, Oct. 22 in Dartmouth at the Best Western Plus, 15 Spectacle Lake Dr., where businesses can meet buyers from the provincial, municipal and federal governments, health authorities, school boards and post-secondary institutions.
