Update From Your Chamber
(July 17, 2020)
The Big Spend
Let's Support our Local Businesses!

Join the Chamber, and sign up for The Big Spend - a Canada-wide initiative to support local, happening on Saturday, July 25 .

The Big Idea

Local small businesses make our communities run. They support community events and sponsor sports teams. They also provide nearly 70% of all private sector jobs in Canada.

They have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we want to support their recovery in the same way they have supported our communities time and again.

So, people across the country are participating in a one-day event called The Big Spend .
3 Steps to be Part of The Big Spend

1. Buy Local
On July 25, make an intentional purchase at a local small business of your choice.

2. Report Your Spend
Add your name to our Big Spend list*, so we can map spending across Canada and track the economic impact we’re making together.
*the Big Spend List will go live on the site closer to the big day.

3. Share the News
Share a story or photo about where you made your Big Spend on Facebook or Instagram! Use hashtag #TheBigSpend, #TheBigSpendGrimsby, or tag @TheBigSpend
Get Your Business Involved

We invite businesses to help spread the word about The Big Spend to the community – display a poster, give out flyers, or share graphics on social media. Download marketing materials from the media package  here !

Keep the conversation going : we're excited to see the community come out to support local businesses for The Big Spend, but we're even more excited to see that support continue far beyond next Saturday...support local as often as possible, and help Grimsby's businesses thrive!

Call For Legal Questions

We are working to bring you an upcoming Virtual Q&A Session on legal issues with new member Ross & McBride LLP, and want to get an idea of the type of questions you may have.

Your questions do not have to be related to COVID-19.
