Welcome New Members! | 2023 Business After Hours Program

Updates from the Chamber Network

On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff at the Chamber of Commerce Brantford-Brant, I would like to wish our members and their employees and families a restful and safe holiday season. We are pleased to highlight Chamber member Massilly North America and their leadership contribution to the Brantford Community Healthcare System, as featured recently in the Brantford Expositor. Additionally, our partners at the Brantford Immigration Partnership have a short survey request to consider, and for our members recruiting into skilled trades, and/or with children considering career development, please take a quick glance at the Future Skills Toolkit from our partners at EdgeFactor, for your opportunity to join for free through February. The toolkit provides dynamic learning and promotional opportunities for the skilled trades and employers.

This will be our final e-news of the year, as the Chamber will be closed next week. Look forward to seeing you in person in 2023!

We are booking now for our

2023 Business After Hours Program.

Pick a month that suits you. Did you just move to a new location, have an anniversary you'd like to celebrate, a big renovation or expansion, or a new showroom?

Hosting a Business After Hours is an excellent way to showcase your business/organization and let our membership know what it is that you do. Networking at it's best.

If you are interested in hosting, feel free to contact Leslie for more information.

Massilly Commits to Community's Health Care

"This holiday season – for the third consecutive year – Massilly is making a significant commitment toward the Brantford General Hospital’s emergency department expansion project.

“We are making a $100,000 matching donation, which means for every dollar people throughout our community give to the Hope for Healthcare Campaign we will match,” Lasby said."
