2026 Small Business Week Summit

📈 What the Year Ahead Will Cost B.C. Small Business

The Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce is bringing members together for a special Small Business Week learning and networking session, and we want you to join us!
Participate in a FREE, practical online session designed specifically for small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Join Bryan Yu, Chief Economist with Central 1, for an economic outlook focused on what B.C. businesses can expect over the coming year.
Tariffs and trade tensions are already affecting business costs, customer spending and hiring decisions. Bryan will explore:

• What costs are likely to rise
• How customer demand may change
• What economic trends could mean for your business
• Where new opportunities may emerge
• How businesses can plan and prepare for the year ahead

You’ll leave with a clearer picture of the economic landscape and practical insights to help you make smarter decisions about your business.

🤝 Learn. Connect. Meet Your Chamber Community.
This isn't just about the presentation.
Come meet fellow Chamber members, connect with local business owners and entrepreneurs, and spend your lunch hour with your business community.
We'll provide the potato chips, you bring your own beverage (or purchase one from us) and join in what is about to be a great topic and discussion!
