From the Desk of the CEO... |

Greetings! this issue of the e-news has two key themes, in addition to highlighting the pandemic recovery resources available to business: Consultation and Celebration.
The unprecedented experiences that business and government are navigating has prompted new and significant ways for the government to consult with business and the public, and your Chamber investment has played a key role in tasking the provincial and federal governments to not only listen to our partners at the Ontario and Canadian Chambers of Commerce but to seek further ideas to address pandemic recovery. Some of these opportunities, including new digital tools from the City of Brantford and County of Brant to gather input, are highlighted below.
The second theme of celebration points to our Business Excellence Awards - Finalists Announcement Event, presented by BDO Canada, on February 2nd. Please join our finalists, the Chamber Board, BDO, and the business community in meeting the 2021 Finalists and celebrating the achievements of several unique companies in our community, as nominated by the membership this year. You can register below.
Stay safe, Dave
