Westoba Celebrates Small Business Week 2020

Date: October 16, 2020

Westoba is celebrating Small Business Week which runs October 18 to October 24, 2020.

In times of economic crisis, we believe it’s more important than ever to acknowledge and support the great local businesses in our areas. Did you know small-to-medium-sized businesses are the foundation of the Canadian economy, accounting for 99.7% of all businesses?

How are we celebrating Small Business Week?

Starting this Monday, you will see us help raise awareness of small business through our ATMs and in-branch television programming, in the Brandon Sun and community news; here on Westoba.com and our social channels, we will be providing resources for small businesses.
