Small Business Week: JorAnn Safety
BDC Small Business Week is a national celebration of Canadian entrepreneurs and their contribution to Canada’s economy. The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) has been organizing Small Business Week since 1979. It takes place every year during the third full week of October. We thought, what better way to celebrate then to chat with some of the wonderful small business owners from the area!
Why did you decide to start JorAnn Safety?
I saw there was a need for small businesses. Primarily in the oil and gas industry to access the expertise of a health & safety advisor without the financial burden of hiring someone fill time. This was a way for me to share my knowledge and practical experience while improving the safety culture within the industry. decade
What are some of the perks and challenges for small business owners in today’s landscape?
The perk is almost always the people! I have been extremely fortunate to work in the West Central Area with some of the most amazing, dedicated and community minded companies within industry.
If you could give one piece of advice to someone hoping to start their own business, what would it be?
Well, I would give two pieces of advice – Work Hard and surround yourself with people who want to see you succeed!
