#SmallMatters began as a feeling. There are good people out there; so many who, despite what the news tell us day after day, are choosing to be kind, real, and are going far beyond the call of “good business” to volunteer, to reach out, and to help those in need.
We are a community. And with social media, our community has grown larger and larger at the touch of a keyboard. From Moncton to Fredericton, St. John to Halifax, we are building a life for ourselves in the Maritimes far greater than anything any of us has known. And we are doing it our way: through hard work, bravery, innovation, and risk-taking.
The goal of #SmallMatters is to honour, promote, and challenge those in our community, especially small businesses and small business owners, to engage in small acts of kindness, small acts of volunteering, small acts of community building.
We want to share stories of those who are out there doing it. We want to be a place to commend, to celebrate our friends and neighbours who work tirelessly to make our community a better place to live – not with acts of grandeur or largesse, looking to make a name for themselves – but with small acts of goodness, of charity, of kindness, of hope, and of community.
Have a great experience at one of our local restaurants, cafes, or shops? Have a coach or mentor who gives far more than they receive? Know of a business owner who is making a real difference in the lives of their customers and our area? Let us know!
Every week, those who engage, share, and get involved with #SmallMatters will be entered into a random draw for prize generously donated by small business owners from our community.
We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off #SmallMatters than with the partnership and support of Doug Collins (affectionately known in networking circles as “The Matcha Man”), who provides healthy, delicious, energy-packed Bios Life Matcha products. The prize for participation this week (to be drawn next Tuesday, October 22nd) is a week’s supply of Unicity Matcha with a branded swag back pack….and that’s no #SmallMatter!
