Dartmouth South Small Businesses - Member Statement

MS. CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, as I've said several times in this House, the backbone of Dartmouth South is its small businesses. After a long, quiet, and sometimes not so quiet, period, and through the hard work of excellent entrepreneurs, a wonderful community, and support from the very active Downtown Dartmouth Business Commission, on which I sit, our downtown and areas beyond are alive again.

To name just a few amazing restaurants and cafes: Two If By Sea; The Canteen; Little C; Whiskey's; May Garden; Il Trullo; Just Us!; New Scotland Yard; Battery Park; Portland Street Creperie; John's Lunch; Portland Street Diner; and more. We're also looking forward to the opening of the Watch That Ends the Night, Lake City Cider, and the Brightwood Brewery. We have amazing jewellers like Grund jewellery, florists like KoKo Mod, and Janet's, aestheticians and beauty services like Interlude Spa, and Colours, unique gifts like Kept and The Train Yard, and so much more.

Why list these businesses? So you will all visit them, of course, on the occasion of Small Business Week.

Please join me in offering these small businesses your congratulations and support for all of their hard work. (Applause)
