Small Business Month

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Small Business Month (banner)
​“Small Business Month" is an annual event that celebrates the important contributions entrepreneurs make to the Brampton economy.

The City of Brampton is a forerunner in Ontario in supporting the formation and growth of local small businesses via the Brampton Entrepreneur Centre, part of the Economic Development Office; almost 90% of all the businesses in Brampton are classified as small.

Behind every small business is an entrepreneur with a vision, passion, and purpose. Brampton is proud to support small business owners by providing them with the tools and resources needed to grow their businesses.

Throughout the month of October, we recognize the resilience and immense contributions of our small businesses to the Brampton economy.

We affirm our commitment to celebrating the entrepreneurs who, with their ideas, passion, and determination, make our community competitive and prosperous.

Through the Brampton Entrepreneur Centre, we are excited to present a full month of free programming.

Visit our calendar of events for a complete listing of activities. As we add more programming throughout the month, we will update our calendar of events.
