- Large-scale installation to run from
October 21-25 in Toronto -
TORONTO, Oct. 21, 2019 /CNW/ - Scotiabank today
unveils Path to Impact, an artful installation that
brings to life the journey of starting and building a business in
Canada. Standing up to 10 feet
tall, the immersive installation will be open to the public in
downtown Toronto during Small
Business Week.
The installation will open from 8 a.m. to
8 p.m. ET from Monday, October, 21 to Friday, October, 25,
at an outdoor space at 464 King St.
West, near the busy intersection of King and Spadina. It
includes first-person anecdotes from business owners and statistics
about five key stages of the business journey, including:
- The Big Idea: Business success starts with a big idea.
Sometimes it's an idea so big that it's hard to process, but it
will change everything.
- Curveballs: This is the stage where thinking turns into
doing at an extremely fast pace, and business owners face many
curveballs along the way.
- Doubt & Isolation: In this stage, business owners
can feel stuck and question their vision.
- Closing Doors: It is here when business owners feel like
giving up but remember why they started in the first place, then
persevere and keep going.
- Impact: Finally, the big idea comes to life. Business
owners look back on the journey and see how every step has led to
impact.
"We know that many Canadian business owners go into business to
make an impact on their community, yet often face a number of
obstacles along the way. This art installation aims to bring that
path to life in an interactive way, giving visitors a first-hand
glimpse into that journey," said Jason
Charlebois, Senior Vice President, Small Business for
Scotiabank. "We're committed to working with businesses of all
sizes to make their path to impact less of a struggle and more of a
success."
