It was good to meet w Toronto Mayor @JohnTory together w other business assocs to share the impact the Toronto/Peel lockdowns are having on small business.
CFIB shared our member data. In Toronto:
- 47% of small firms are fully open
- 15% are earning normal levels of revenue
- 52% are losing money every day they are open
- 31% are concerned about permanent closure

Toronto & Peel are the only regions in all of Canada that require small retailers to close while allowing big box stores to remain open. Sask allows small firms to remain open, but limits big box stores to 50% capacity. Isn't that a better approach?
CFIB is urging the province to allow small retailers in Toronto/Peel to open w strict customer limits (the greater of 3 customers or 20% of capacity). If you support the cause, please sign our petition: promo.cfib-fcei.ca/saveontario/
