SMALL BUSINESSES SALUTED It was all about small businesses at a board of trade event last month. In honour of Small Business Week, Oct. 16 to 22, the Burnaby Board of Trade hosted a special edition of its Networking and Referral Group on Friday, Oct. 21. Folks gathered at Fortius Sport & Health for the morning event.The pur-
pose of the networking session was to highlight the dynamic small businesses that help drive Burnaby’s economy. Board of trade members were encouraged to bring non-members along to make some new connections, too. The NOW stopped by to see what all the fuss was about.
