Purolator, a leading integrated freight, parcel, and logistics solutions provider in Canada, has opened nominations for its 2025 True North Small Business Grant Contest, aiming to raise the profiles and give back to small businesses in local communities across the country.

Small business owners and Canadians can nominate their favorite small business for a chance to win over $150,000 in prizes. And yes, you can nominate your own small business. A small business may be nominated as many times as possible; however, a unique individual must submit each nomination, and the content of each submission must also be unique, as determined by the contest administrator and/or judging panel.
