🎉 Next week is BDC Small Business Week! 🎉

From Flin Flon to Snow Lake, Cranberry Portage, Sherridon and Kiciwapa Cree Nation, small businesses are the heartbeat of our communities. They keep our main streets open, sponsor our kids’ teams, and keep our dollars close to home.

All next week (Oct 19–25), we’re celebrating the people who take the risk and do the work. Follow along, and tag a local business you love in the comments! 👇

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂

Today, a lot of us are sitting around the table with family and friends, talking about what’s going on in town. The roads. Housing. Main Street. Jobs.

Tomorrow night, bring those same conversations to a different table, one with the people who want to lead our city.

What’s the ONE question you’d ask a candidate for Mayor or Council?
Drop it in the comments, then come ask it in person! 💬
