What Is The Chamber Doing For You?
Business After Hours
Thank you to Hidden Bay Leadership Camp for hosting our last Business After Hours Event. A wonderful time was had by all at the high tea enjoying the delicious spread put out by their chef Sabine Kosalka. It was great to see the facilities and all they have to offer our community.
Our next Business After Hours event is on December 8th at Dunn’s Parry Sound Self Storage, Parry Sound’s newest indoor self storage facility. Meet, greet and network with other Chamber members while enjoying some snacks and beverages.

Chamber Happenings:
Membership Survey:
Thank you to our members for taking the time to respond to our latest survey regarding changing the number of communication emails you receive from us.
The response was pretty well unanimous in that you only want to receive one email a week from us as in the past. We’ll be refreshing the look of the Tuesday email and will continue to ensure that you have the latest information on what the Chamber, our members and the community is doing.
In regards to attaching flyers the response was less so we’ll take the information to the Membership Committee for review and will advise once policies have been put into place.
Thanks to all for responding and you’ll be seeing future survey requests in the future.

We encourage each Chamber member to add our logo onto their website and any promotional materials. This is a sign of not only strength by belonging to a Chamber but also solidarity with
your fellow members.
