Business After Hours
A big thank you goes out to our gracious BAH hosts at Delta Rocky Crest Resort who put on a great display of the hospitality they can offer at the July 14th event. With a view of the water sports park, the docks and the outdoor pool, Chamber members were treated to tasty hors d’oeuvres, a room tour and the opportunity to win a nights stay at the soon to re-open Delta Sherwood property. Don’t miss out on these great opportunities to network with your peers. Treat one or two of your staff members for their great performance, or bring that new hire along to get a chance to immerse themselves in the business community.
We look forward to seeing YOU at the next event. Upcoming BAH Networking Events:
• Rosseau Road Power Sports and Marine, August 25, 5 pm to 6 pm
• Georgian Bay Airways, September 29, 5 pm to 6 pm
Please RSVP to info@parrysoundchamber.ca or call 746-4213 to confirm your attendance for any Business After Hours.
