AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Childcare Policy Clash in Alberta: ACE backed CFIB’s push for Alberta to fix the Child Care Affordability Grant, saying it’s creating an uneven playing field that’s pushing licensed preschool operators out. Small-Business Pressure from Transit: Vancouver’s West Broadway retailers and restaurants report steep drops in foot traffic and closures as construction and a new six-month vehicle shutdown disrupt business. Export Shock from U.S. Tariffs: CFIB research says two in five Canadian exporters to the U.S. are selling goods hit by proposed 50% tariffs on some CUSMA-compliant products, with most expecting revenue declines. B.C. Confidence Edges Up, Growth Still Weak: CFIB’s Business Barometer shows B.C. small-business confidence improving in July, but outlook remains subdued and cost pressures stay high. Local Housing Partnership: Yonge Street Mission and U of T’s Housing Justice Lab announced a partnership tied to ELEV8, a mixed-income project aimed at tackling affordability and homelessness. Entrepreneurship Support for Youth: Community Futures Meridian’s Youth Side Hustle Program helped young participants launch and fund small ventures with training in planning, branding, and pricing. New Clinic Opens in Winnipeg: SimplyHear launched in St. Vital with a focus on making hearing care more affordable and accessible.
