Co-hosted by GEC and BDC, this practically-focused virtual event aims to demystify finance and incentives and provide clear guidance on how SMEs can take action to make their business more profitable, resilient and sustainable.

On October 2nd, 2026, Green Economy Canada partnered with BDC to convene a national Roundtable of Canadian business member associations to explore opportunities to enhance sustainability support for SME members. The roundtable brought together leaders from local, provincial, and sector-specific organizations spanning agriculture, food manufacturing, regional commerce, and rural development.

Green Economy Canada recently hosted “Weathering What’s Next: Building Climate-Resilient SMEs in Canada,” bringing together industry experts from BDC, Co-operators, and the small business community to discuss action-oriented strategies for resilience. We’ve rounded up the key highlights, key action steps, and full video recording into a quick-read blog post tailored to support your ongoing sustainability journey.
