Save Small Businesses: Reinstate Digital Main Street Funding in Ontario

The Issue

We are calling on the Ontario government to urgently reinstate funding for the Digital Main Street program, which provides vital support to small businesses across the province. The recent decision to end this funding threatens the survival of countless local businesses, particularly in the wake of economic challenges exacerbated by the pandemic.

Digital Main Street has been a lifeline for small businesses, offering crucial resources and expertise to help them navigate the digital landscape. From improving online presence to enhancing marketing strategies, this program has empowered entrepreneurs to thrive in an increasingly digital economy.

The termination of Digital Main Street funding will have devastating consequences for small businesses across Ontario. Many rely on this support to stay afloat, attract customers, and compete in today's market. Without it, they face significant barriers to growth and risk closure.

We cannot afford to let our small businesses suffer. They are the backbone of our communities, providing jobs and essential services. By reinstating funding for Digital Main Street, the Ontario government can demonstrate its commitment to supporting local economies and ensuring the survival of small businesses all across Ontario.

Sign this petition to demand that the Ontario government prioritize the needs of small businesses and reinstate funding for Digital Main Street. Together, we can safeguard the future of entrepreneurship in Ontario and help our communities thrive.

You are free to contact your local MPP to voice your support for the program!!
