Activities
The Small Business Roundtable organizes several types of activities and events throughout the year:
We want to see you in action! The Minister of Small Business, Technology and Economic Development along with roundtable members will be touring small businesses throughout the province in 2009. Tours will allow owners to express their views and ideas in their own working environment. Tours will take place at businesses that have been identified as developing an innovative approach to doing business and employ less than 50 employees.
Please contact the Roundtable Secretariat, RoundtableSecretariat@gov.bc.ca if you have a proposal for a small business tour in your area.
The Small Business Roundtable wants to engage the small business community around the province in a continuing dialogue to identify opportunities and actions to make British Columbia the most small business friendly jurisdiction in Canada.
The 2010 consultations will build on the previous years' goal of further understanding the regional and industry-specific issues and potential actions within the following key areas:
- Human resources access, development and education
- Reducing regulatory burden for small business
- Reducing tax complexity for small business
- Small business opportunities and challenges related to climate action
- Small business training priorities
- Leveraging local opportunities
