Statistics Canada states family-owned businesses account for 63.1 percent of all private sector firms in the Canadian economy and generated 48.9 percent of Canada's real Gross Domestic Product in the private sector, at $574.6 billion. More than 90 percent of the jobs supported by family-owned businesses, which equals 6.4 million are in small and medium-sized businesses. On this episode, we celebrate family businesses.

Amplify Canada is an initiative created by Pattison Media designed to celebrate and elevate small businesses, the backbone of our economy. Thousands of small businesses, groups, family organizations and individuals are showcased on Pattison Media radio stations from Winnipeg to Vancouver throughout the year. Every month we go deeper and share the incredible journey of a few that have made an impact on their community. Some have flourished, others may need a little extra love and support. These are their stories.
