The Surrey Board of Trade is on a mission to make businesses #SurreyStrong. Since the beginning of the pandemic, locally-owned businesses have been shattered, but they are the backbone of our communities. By supporting local businesses, your purchase has 4.6 times more impact:
- Locally-owned businesses keep 63% of revenue circulating in our community compared to only 14% by multinationals
- Locally-owned businesses create 8 times more jobs
- Locally-owned businesses donate 25 times more to charities
With funding from the Federal Government, through the BC Chamber of Commerce, we're launching our #SurreyStrong campaign, an initiative to boost local spending. Join us virtually on February 11th to learn more about how you and your business can be #SurreyStrong. You will hear from Canada's Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development, Mary Ng, and BC Chamber of Commerce President and CEO, Fiona Famulak.
