Tackling Canada’s productivity gap: It starts with entrepreneurs
Tuesday, October 18, 2016
7:00 am – 9:00 am
St. Louis Hotel
403 8th Avenue SE
'Measure up! Shape your future' is part of Small Business Week Calgary.
What's at the root of Canada's much-discussed productivity gap? How is this impacting the bottom line of our small- and medium-sized businesses and their ability to compete? What do the most successful entrepreneurs do to up their game?
Come hear the answers to these questions as Michael Denham, President and CEO of BDC—the only Canadian bank devoted exclusively to entrepreneurs—reveals the results of a comprehensive study on productivity of 1,500 Canadian business owners. You will also hear about Canada's first ever business productivity benchmarking tool that BDC will be launching this fall.
Join us at the historic St. Louis Hotel for this insightful discussion on productivity in the entrepreneurial business.

Partner event: Celebration of Sport
The Chamber is a proud supporter of Sport Calgary, and on Thursday, October 13th, they are hosting the Celebration of Sport (formerly Mayor's Sport Breakfast). This event is a chance to recognize the people and businesses that make Calgary such an incredible sport city. The best part is that 100% of proceeds from the Celebration of Sport go to support amateur sports in the city, and programs that encourage sport participation.
This year the event will also have an Olympic focus, and will honour Alberta’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes in partnership with the Province of Alberta.
Learn more about this great event supporting sport in Calgary.
