We look back and reflect on some of the memorable moments of the first season of Amplify Canada. We talked, listened, and were inspired and moved by Canadian small business resiliency. It’s been quite a year, the pandemic pushed back even harder, closing countless businesses but those businesses that persevered, gave back, and found new ways of doing business. Listen as we reflect on some of the stories that captured our hearts and made us think about the vital piece small businesses play in our economy. This country is built on small businesses. These are the stories of the changes people have made, the resiliency they have shown, and the inspiration that got them there.

Amplify Canada is a 12-part monthly podcast that tells real stories of Canadians from Port Alberni, BC, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and everywhere in between. These are stories of invention, overcoming adversity, coming together, creativity and hope; stories of the diverse and varied business owners that Canadians rely on every day. The owner of a multi-generational grocery store, a favorite African Caribbean Cafe, a favorite clothing boutique, restaurant, pub, barbershop, auto repair or cab company, a single mother down the street who started a successful natural products business, the local tattoo artists, a local musician making an impact on their community… you get the idea. Pattison Media developed this project to help support small businesses in Western Canada.
