Small Business Week:
October 20 to 26, 2024
Celebrating Small Business Week in the Bow Valley!
Small Business Week is a time to recognize and celebrate the incredible contributions that small businesses make to our communities. Here in the Bow Valley, our local entrepreneurs are the backbone of the Bow Valley. They create jobs, drive innovation, and add to the unique charm that makes our region so special.
From October 20th to 26th 2024, we celebrate Small Business Week in the Bow Valley by showcasing the passion, hard work, and resilience of our local business owners. Whether they’re providing world-class hospitality to visitors, crafting unique goods, or delivering services that help our community thrive, these businesses represent the heart of our economy.
The Bow Valley Chamber of Commerce is proud to support and highlight the achievements of our small business community. Throughout the week, we will be sharing valuable business tips in collaboration with 106.5 Mountain FM. We invite everyone to participate in the celebrations, shop local, and take part in supporting the businesses that make our valley a vibrant and dynamic place to live and work.
Together, let’s celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit that keeps the Bow Valley strong and resilient.
Happy Small Business Week!

Start your day with a dose of positivity and gratitude! My morning journal practice has become a key part of my leadership approach. Life gets busy, but taking a moment to reflect helps me stay calm and think more clearly. It’s made all the difference in how I manage things.

Stay true to your values and define what success means to you, otherwise you'll end up chasing someone else's version of success and that always ends up feeling empty.
It is easy to fall into the trap of wanting to do it all. Learning to offload tasks to staff or other skilled professionals can help reduce your workload...which then reduces your stress. Create a list of the tasks you most despise doing or that creates the most stress and start with those.
