Our Shop Local Brantford-Brant program has officially launched!
Please look to engage however suits your business and personal interests! From learning about our great locally owned and operated businesses to allocating a portion of your holiday spending dollars specifically to our retail and restaurant businesses in Brantford, Brant, and Six Nations. You may also want to think about diving into advertising, video, social media, or MyBrantford feature within our campaign! Contact Olivia at olivia@brcc.ca for more information.
Our Rapid Screening program continues to draw renewals and new businesses, while our Wine, Women, and Shopping Event gears up for its 15th Anniversary on November 24th, and our Annual Holiday Open House plans are developing to be a great event at the Rope Factory Event Hall on December 7th.
Thank you to everyone who responded to last week’s Minimum Wage Poll, results are included below. A diversity of opinions, reflecting the wide range of employers, sectors, and economic pressures represented by our membership. For more information or additional feedback on both the minimum wage and the living wage question, please reach out to David.
ChamberTV last week featured President John Tibbits of Conestoga College, discussing the college’s response to COVID-19, post-secondary education, and its plans for growth in Brantford and Brant. This week, Shredding Barriers is featured, Thursday at 6:00 pm on RogersTV, and next week we look forward to welcoming Wilfrid Laurier University and an update on their operations.
Finally, please note our Estate Planning webinar featuring Caitlin Turner of Waterous, covering key updates in estate law this week. It will be recorded if you are unable to make it live.
The Chamber will be pausing work at 11:00 am on Remembrance Day.
Thank you,
Dave
