The business mix in Sturgis
In June 2026, Statistics Canada counted 28 businesses with employees in Sturgis. The largest groups, and what their websites should show:
- Farms and agricultural businesses (5 locations): where to buy their products and a form for wholesale enquiries.
- Restaurants, cafés and bars (3 locations): photos of the dishes and the room and how to book a table or a private event by email.
67.9% had between one and four employees, so this is a market of small firms. Whatever the sector, customers check the same things first: what you do, where, and how to reach you.
The jobs residents hold are mostly in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting (19.0%), retail trade (15.5%) and accommodation and food services (12.1%).

Rules to know before your Sturgis website goes live
A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:
- Consent is at the heart of Canada’s anti-spam legislation (CASL): express consent means someone has agreed, verbally or in writing, to receive a commercial electronic message from you, and senders should be ready to provide proof of that consent. Canada’s anti-spam legislation
- Under Canadian competition law, it is against the law to make materially false or misleading representations to promote a product, service or business interest, and the law also prohibits the unauthorized use or distortion of tests and testimonials. Competition Bureau
