Construction projects in Canada have disrupted small businesses dramatically over the past five years, with 68% of businesses reporting operational difficulties due to ongoing infrastructure projects.
Emily Boston, senior policy analyst at CFIB emphasized that while infrastructure projects are crucial, their prolonged duration makes survival challenging for local businesses, highlighting a need for better planning.
The report revealed that construction has led to an average of 508 days of disruption over five years, causing significant revenue loss and operational stress for affected businesses.
Survey findings indicate that 22% of small businesses experienced major impacts from construction disruptions, and they also faced average losses of 22% revenue during significant projects.
