My heart is especially full this holiday season. It’s been more than two weeks since Futurpreneur completed our 7-city Holiday Shopping Tour – an uplifting and inspiring event series spanning the country, from Halifax to Montreal to Ottawa to Toronto to Winnipeg to Calgary to our final event in Vancouver, alongside our partners at BDC. I was fortunate to be able to meet – and buy special, unique gifts from – dozens of our young entrepreneurs across Canada. As you can see from the pictures, it was simply incredible. At each event, I encouraged our guests to continue their shopping online, from local businesses and the nearly 200 additional Futurpreneur-supported businesses across Canada featured in our annual holiday shopping guide: https://lnkd.in/gwnQDe3Q, sponsored by BDC & PayPal. At the first few stops on our tour, I asked our entrepreneurs how they were coping amid the Canada Post strike. Overall, they were doing ok, managing purchases and deliveries with other carriers. Until they weren’t. In recent days, my heart has ached as I’ve read posts by our young founders waiting in line at other carriers to send their volume-induced limit of 2 packages/day, or sharing how they were providing personal delivery services hundreds of kilometres from their stores in an effort to support their customers and salvage the holiday season. Amid their struggles, it felt trivial for me to post pictures of our festive in-person holiday shopping events knowing that many of these same founders were persevering to have a successful year-end in spite of critical factors outside their control. It is impossible to overstate how hard small, consumer products businesses work through the holiday season, or how important these seasonal sales are to them. So, as I post these pictures, I do so with an ask - for now and well into the new year. Please, please shop local and prioritize purchasing from the many thousands of incredible businesses across Canada. And please be kind to small business owners. The gifts you want may be delayed, service may be disrupted, and inventory may be thin, through no fault of the business owners hoping to sell you their incredible products. #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness #buyCanadian #smallbiz
