Small Business Week is coming up October 19–23, and we’ve got some exciting opportunities for Glebe businesses to get involved and give your business a boost. Enjoy a day at the Ottawa Small Business Summit or take part in the BDC Small Business Week webinars.

Ottawa Small Business Week Summit

Building a business takes vision, resilience and hard work, but it also takes the right people, ideas and connections. The Ottawa Small Business Summit 2026, led by karmadharma, brings Ottawa’s small business community together around a simple idea: we are stronger when we learn from each other, share what we know, and help one another move forward.

We are giving away 5 tickets to this year’s Summit to Glebe BIA Business Members. Email Darrell Cox for tickets: darrellcox@intheglebe.ca
