The Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade is taking action to help protect the health and safety of our members, partners and our employees. We are currently implementing measures to do our part in containing the further spread of COVID-19.
As a result, we will be postponing all in-person board of trade events until April 10th and have decided to opt for virtual meetings. Based on the Canadian Government recommendation
to stay home, our staff will be working remotely and the office will be closed. Board of trade staff continue to be available to our members and the business community via email.
If you have already registered for one of our upcoming events your purchase will be transferred to the rescheduled date. In this time of social distancing, we are exploring helpful and topical webinars to bring the to business community.
We continue to work with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce to develop and share
tools and resource links
; such as Business Continuity and Recovery Planning, Crisis Communication Plans, Government of Canada supports for businesses impact by COVID-19, and more.
The Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade is also partnering with the Regional Municipality of Durham and local chambers of commerce and boards of trade on a
survey to help us better understand what current and imminent impacts our business community is experiencing related to COVID-19. This will help us to better deliver needed information and supportive programs and services.
We will continue to monitor the situation and will keep members updated through our website, emails and social media.
All my best,
