Free POST Promise Toolkits Available For First 1,000 Ottawa Businesses who Make the Promise
COVID-19 has caused significant shifts in consumer behaviour, in part to reduce the spread of the virus, but also because of economic uncertainty. As a result, people are shopping less, cancelling or postponing major purchases, and buying more online. This has created significant challenges for businesses.

To help restore consumer and business confidence the Ottawa Board of Trade has partnered with the City of Ottawa to launch the POST Promise Campaign.

POST Promise is a national, bilingual, initiative designed to help Canadians confidently and safely shop and work in local businesses. It brings together all businesses, across industries, to implement a common approach to help keep Canadians safe during the pandemic. When people see the POST Promise logo, they can have confidence that a business is doing what it can to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The first 1,000 Ottawa businesses to make the promise will receive free POST Promise posters and window decals! Use these toolkits to show your support for your employees and customers.

“This is not about any kind of certification or approval from a regulatory body. This is about a promise. What we’ve seen during this pandemic is that business owners are showing employees that they are working hard to protect them, but also they are fighting to save their businesses. We know small to medium sized enterprises are the economic backbone of our economy. When they fall down, we all do. So, consumer confidence is incredibly important.” Sueling Ching, President and CEO of the Ottawa Board of Trade

Don't forget to post your promise on social media using the hashtag #POSTPromise and tag the Ottawa Board of Trade so we can share your commitment to safety!
