Canadian Dream Summit brings together important voices at the intersection of innovation and society.

I got to chat with two founders of Canadian scaling success stories today at the Canadian Dream Summit. Mike Wessinger of PointClickCare and David Ossip of Ceridian. They discussed their story, the barriers they faced and the opportunities they seized. Nothing I appreciate more than listening to Canadians.

Our government is a small business friendly government that has a number of programs and supports to help business owners start up, scale up, and access new markets.

Whether it’s accessing valuable advice, capital to grow, or even paid interns, we are here for Canadian business owners from coast to coast to coast.

Because small business owners are busy, we wanted to make it as easy possible for them to access the support they need so we launched innovation.canada.ca. Innovation Canada is a one-stop-shop where small business owners can get a tailored list of government programs that can help them achieve their business goals.Making it easier for Canadian small business owners will grow our economy, keep Canada competitive, and create good middle class jobs.
