As the local economy emerges from COVID-19, the Welch LLP Ottawa Business Growth Survey is taking on an even greater importance.
Now in its sixth year, the survey is an opportunity for business leaders to share their priorities and perspectives on the health of their industry with policymakers, politicians and business advocates.
This year’s survey will explore the impact of COVID-19 on business confidence as well as the ways in which the pandemic will permanently shift our economy.
The survey is supported by several local business organizations, including the Ottawa Board of Trade, Welch LLP, OBJ, local business improvement areas and many other partners.
The survey, which takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, is conducted by Abacus Data.
