BDC Legislative Review: Consultation with Industry

Canada’s only bank focused exclusively on providing support to small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs, the Business Development Bank of Canada will soon be conducting a legislative review to determine how it may evolve to better support businesses over the coming years. To submit the most effective recommendations to the BDC, TIAC is currently seeking input from business leaders in tourism. Your insights are valuable and will have a direct impact on TIAC’s recommendations. Please submit your responses before March 3.



Tourism Week 2023 



Get set for this year’s weeklong celebration of tourism in Canada! Tourism Week is an annual invitation for all tourism partners to come together to champion and promote Canada’s destinations, tourism businesses, and employees – from coast to coast to coast. This year’s event will take place April 24-30, 2023. After three challenging years for tourism, the upcoming spring/summer travel season will be the first without pandemic-related border restrictions. There’s no better time to celebrate the industry than this year - that’s why this year’s theme is CANADA: Powered by Tourism! We’re calling on all tourism businesses to join the fun – get involved!
