About #MySmallBizReco
Small businesses have faced tough times recently, but there’s something we can all do to help – recommend them! Recommendations are an incredibly valuable way for local businesses to get more exposure and attract new customers. That’s why we’re calling on small business supporters to recommend a business that they love on social media with #MySmallBizReco. Because we all know – where you shop matters.

Elm Street Italian Deli
Nobody does artisanal meats, cheeses, & breads like an old-school Italian Deli. Elm Street Deli makes all of their sandwich meats in-house, bakes their own bread, and proudly produces small batch condiments. They're the perfect pre-picnic stop for take-away sandwiches and sides.

Peace Collective
Peace Collective gives Canadians a way to represent themselves in the world. A pillar in the community, they took the challenges presented by COVID-19 and equipped frontline workers with reusable masks, donating 10,000 to date. They've also diverted proceeds from sales directly to food banks across Canada.
