Canadian Chamber of Commerce - Economic Policy Series

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has released their latest instalment in the Economic Policy Series entitled, Vibrant Small Businesses are crucial to Canada's Economic Prosperity.

New money will help businesses spot bogus bills

Small business owners have a lot on their plates from managing

supplier contracts to ensuring compliance with a variety of

legal obligations. They shouldn't also have to worry about

being caught with a bank note that's not legit. At least, that's

what the Bank of Canada thought in developing Canada's

new polymer bank note series. Go to www.bankofcanada.ca/banknotes

to watch an informative video on the new notes and access

free training materials like posters, handbooks and leaflets.
