In our latest CanadianSME Small Business Magazine interview, we sat down with Ryan Picklyk, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships and Franchising at A and W and Chair of the Canadian Franchise Association.

Ryan shared thoughtful insights on how franchising empowers Canadians to step into business ownership with confidence. He highlighted how the model blends independence with support, helping entrepreneurs build successful local businesses while staying connected to a proven system. From community driven innovation to the wide range of opportunities across more than sixty industries, franchising continues to open doors for Canadians from all backgrounds.

He also offered practical advice for anyone considering a franchise path. Do the research. Find the right fit. Use the CFA’s tools and resources. And lean on trusted experts to make informed decisions.

A powerful reminder that franchising is more than a business model. It is a pathway to opportunity, community impact and long term growth for entrepreneurs across the country.
