Sudbury Marks Small Business Week By Holding Annual Conference

By Angela Gemmill

There are 9,000 small businesses across Greater Sudbury and area.

Each one has individual challenges they must deal with regularly.

This is Small Business Week across Canada, which is an opportunity to provide entrepreneurs with information, advice and networking opportunities.

Coordinator of Regional Business Centre, Judy Benvenuti, is excited for the week-long Bridges to Better Business Conference.

She gives credit to anyone who starts a small business because it’s hard work to make it and keep it successful.

Benvenuti reminds everyone to support our local economy by shopping at or using the services of these small businesses in Sudbury.

On Tuesday, Sudbury Mayor Brian Bigger proclaimed this as Small Business Week across the city.
