The goal of this project is to find local businesses in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and surrounding areas to feature. The focus should be on businesses related to the month, such as pumpkin patches or other October-related themes. Women-owned businesses and businesses from diverse groups should be included in the search process. The project should create a list of 24 businesses to feature and draft 4-5 paragraphs on what makes them worthy of featuring. Links to the businesses should also be provided.

Note, the business features can also include online business BUT there should be a clear category distinction to show which businesses are online VS ones with physical locals.

The project should include the following tasks:

- Research local businesses in the GTA and surrounding areas.

- Identify businesses related to the month, such as pumpkin patches or other October-related themes.

- Include women-owned businesses and businesses from diverse groups in the search process.

- Create a list of 24 businesses to feature.

- Draft 4-5 paragraphs on what makes each business worthy of featuring.

- Provide links to the businesses.

We provide regular meetings with students to ensure all questions are addressed at all phases of the project to increase student success and excellent learning experiences. .
