one another and regularly cross-market. I love recommending Sidney’s great shoe, accessory or other clothing shops to customers. We’re all in this together, so why not enable customers to have the best possible experience? ” Devon’s not alone in her enthusiasm for Sidney’s inclusive and friendly business culture. Chris Straub, lawyer and partner of Henley and Straub agrees. “It’s all about the customer,” Chris says. “We make every effort to provide the best possible service, and, of course, sometimes that includes making a referral to one or more other fine businesses. It’s an incredibly welcoming, responsive and helpful business environment.” Murrae Wilson is another passionate Sidney business owner. She opened
Le Petit Lapin, an eyelash and waxing boutique that features other services and locally made jewellery. She agrees that Sidney is a “great” place to do business and is delighted to see so many other young entrepreneurs settling into Sidney. Behind all these exceptional business ventures, the Sidney BIA and the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce creatively market, promote and support businesses in Sidney and on the Peninsula. “We are so fortunate,” says Morgan Shaw, Executive Director of the Sidney BIA. “We have an extraordinary array of businesses and are always happy to assist others who may be interested to learn more about Sidney’s thriving business community.”
