Support Local: Ward 3 Small Businesses Worth Celebrating
As we wrap up Small Business Week, we’re celebrating the local businesses that make Ward 3 vibrant, welcoming, and uniquely ours by showing them a little extra appreciation!
Over the past few weeks, we invited residents to share their favourite Ward 3 small businesses for a chance to win some awesome local prizes. And you folks did not disappoint! The response was amazing, and every nomination was a heartfelt reminder of just how much our small businesses mean to all the people they serve.
Below is a list of every business submitted during our outreach. While it’s by no means a complete picture of the incredible small businesses operating across Ward 3, it’s a wonderful snapshot of the places that matter a lot to our neighbours. Behind each name is a team of passionate people working tirelessly and pouring their hearts into creating great things right here in our communities.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to cheer on your local favourites! To all of the businesses on this list, and to every small business across Ward 3: congratulations, and thank you for the meaningful work you do. We’re proud to celebrate you this week and all year long.
