From the CEO's Desk
Welcome to summer!

Chamber staff and our summer student Ria are busy both wrapping up our late spring events, and planning for both summer holidays as well as a very busy fall. Many exciting things are happening in our community this summer, and we’ll do our best to highlight member and partner events and activities in support of business in Brantford-Brant. Chamber President Paul Bisanti will be speaking at Rotary this Friday at the Sherwood, and we look forward to joining our friends at Enterprise Brant for their AGM and Celebration of Cindy Swanson’s Retirement on July 20th (RSVP to Enterprise Brant!)

Have a great week!

Dave

Canada Connects Volunteer Program

The Canada Connects program creates meaningful connections between newcomers, long-time Canadians, and established immigrants.

Newcomer participants gain a better understanding of Canadian customs, culture, social, political, and economic life.

Program volunteers develop better cross-cultural awareness, communication and sensitivity, and a sense of fulfillment from helping newcomers settle more effectively in our communities.
