Member, here's the latest local business news you can use

Greetings!

We are pleased to have compiled the results of the 2021 Business Issue Survey. This is a key indicator of business outlook in our community and it helps us grow and change our offerings based on the results. A key take away from this survey is that our businesses were hit hard by Covid but are resilient and are reinventing themselves. We must keep optimistic.

Show some love for local. I know you've heard it before but the livelihood of our local businesses depends on our willingness to go out of the way to find ways to work with local businesses during COVID lockdown. Whether it be purchasing online, pickup, appointments instead of walk or gift cards for future use. If you have a favourite business in Dufferin, show them some love.

Sincerely

Liz Skorski

Chair - Dufferin Board of Trade
