TELUS empowers Canadian businesses with $1M recommitment to #StandWithOwners
June 07 2022 - 8:00AM
TELUS’ #StandWithOwners program is back for the third consecutive
year, recommitting $1M to help businesses across Canada -
spotlighting the critical role they play in our communities and the
economy and helping them thrive in a digital world. With 52 per
cent of Canada’s 2021 employment growth coming from small and
medium enterprises, these businesses are a key pillar of our
economy that deserve to be celebrated and recognized for all they
do. Inspired by the strength and resiliency of these business
owners, TELUS will recognize businesses across Canada who are using
technology to innovate and help their business grow, while also
driving meaningful change in their communities, by awarding $25,000
in funding, advertising and prizes.
“Small businesses are the
heart of our communities; they bring character to our
neighbourhoods and play a pivotal role in driving our economy
forward,” said Navin Arora, Executive Vice-president, TELUS and
President, TELUS Business Solutions. “TELUS has always been a proud
supporter of Canadian business and we work hard to empower these
owners to grow and achieve even more success. Our powerful and
world leading networks and technology help owners meet increasing
demands while staying connected to their businesses, teams,
families and communities.”
Starting today,
businesses can apply to receive $10,000 in funding, a $10,000
personalized local advertising campaign and over $5,000 in
technology prizes from TELUS and its partners, including Samsung,
Fully Managed by TELUS Business, Cisco, Sage and Moneris, by
submitting an application at telus.com/StandWithOwners until
September 18, 2022. Owners will be selected based on their stories
of community impact and how technology is enhancing their
business.
TELUS will also award one
business owner with a technology makeover customized to their
business, with a value up to $50,000. This package includes
additional prizes from TELUS and partners, and will be given to one
of this year’s #StandWithOwners recipients based on their story of
how their business will benefit and grow through the addition of
enhanced technology.
“We really appreciate
TELUS supporting small businesses like us and sharing our journey
with the world through #StandWithOwners,” said Mithun Mathew,
Founder and owner of SpiceX, and 2021 #StandWithOwners recipient.
“TELUS’ support through this program helped us boost our finances,
enabled us to drive more robust marketing programs, and grow our
business further, while also giving back to the community through
affordable meals for students and people in need using our meal
plan options.”
TELUS has a longstanding
history of championing Canadian businesses and entrepreneurship
with over a decade of support in annual grants, local advertising
and mentorship to businesses through #StandWithOwners, and
previously, the Small Business Challenge and TELUS Pitch.
