The Southdale constituency has about 110 businesses and they are facing a situation they could not have imagined.
As Manitobans work together to protect the health of our community members, small and medium-sized businesses have been impacted in a variety of ways. While some businesses have had to temporarily shut down, others are adapting and finding new ways of operating.
Southdale resident Nadia Al-naji has been operating NAD Express since last June. As an essential courier and delivery service, her business has seen growth with a surge in demand to get products directly to consumers’ homes.
“We are providing a service for people who might not be able to leave,” says Al-naji. The single mom of three says she’s happy to help people get the products they need, in a safe way.
