Chamber E-mails & Advocacy
In the future the Chamber will be doing two things. First we will be dividing our membership email addresses into “sectors” so that when we have information regarding that sector it will be sent directly to them so you may see more emails in the future. Second, we as a Chamber will be advocating on our members behalf in partnership with area associations, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in order to support your business. A example of this is the REDAC information included below and attached.
If in the future you have an issue that we can assist with please don’t hesitate to contact Perry.
