In 2020, tens of thousands of Canadians rallied around locally owned small businesses through The Big Spend and generated:
$20 million in local spending
$100 million in economic impact
On a single day!
While the initial pain of COVID is hopefully behind us, the economic challenges it left behind are real! So we’re bringing The Big Spend back in 2023 with a plan for an even bigger impact.
