Welcome to August! I hope you are enjoying the summer months. DBOT is very encouraged with the Covid 19 numbers in our municipalities and reopening of key businesses.  Please remember that shopping local is essential to keeping our valued businesses IN BUSINESS. Always look for a LOCAL option for a purchase. You can easily do that on our DBOT business directory. The most comprehensive business directory in Dufferin. A reminder that we are still distributing Rapid Test Kits for small business for free. The goal of the program is to identify asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic cases of COVID-19 in the workplace that might otherwise be missed, helping to curb the spread in the workplace, at home and around the community. Remember to join us for the Play Local Golf Tournament on August 19/21 and the Think Local Market Sept 14/21. Stay safe & shop local  Liz Skorski Chair of the Board of Directors, Dufferin Board of Trade

Get back into the swing of things! Not a golfer? Become a game sponsor! Pop up your company tent or signage on the green and run a contest or hand out your promo pieces to our golfers. Connect with Diana for contest ideas - sorry, but Golf Ball Beer Pong and Longest Marshmallow Drive Contest are taken!  (you'll have to join us to find out what those are! 😊) Prize donations also accepted.

Outdoor space at the Biz Hub

Are you ready for face-to-face meetings? The outdoor space at the Biz Hub is available for small meetings, team building sessions, or as an outdoor workspace - for only $50 a day (or $30 for a half day). The 10'x20' tent offers Wifi and washroom/kitchenette access, and is steps away from the Baker Creek pond, the Mono Pollinator Garden, and the Island Lake trail system. Consider a walking meeting on the trail followed by lunch in the cool shade of the tent! "Skip the Dishes" delivers to our office and we'd be happy to recommend a member restaurant for your lunch order. Prefer to work in air conditioned comfort? Our private offices and co-working desks are available starting at just $25/day! Visit our website to book a space or connect with us if you have any questions!
