“This has been a tough year for entrepreneurs. Some businesses were fortunate enough to pivot quickly in order to avoid the “COVID blow.” There were even some new businesses that formed out of this crisis and managed to soar. Throughout the first 4 months of the pandemic, we were able to highlight businesses across Canada and listen to entrepreneurs speak of their challenges and their unique pivots during this time on our Instagram platform.” – Dwania Peele, Founder of Canadian Small Business Women
