BRANTFORD-BRANT

CHAMBER

From the Desk of the CEO...

Welcome to summer! And hopefully to either a 2nd vaccination completed or appointment booked if able to do so. The Chamber is proud to support both #thisisourshot and #fastertogether, initiatives developed and supported by the Chamber network and businesses across Canada to encourage broader engagement and literacy around vaccinations this summer.

This week we are pleased to welcome a 2nd summer student, Talha, a co-op student from Assumption in Brantford. He will be assisting with some of the backend digitalization and research projects for staff this summer.

We are also pleased to support the Shop Local campaign through the Federal Government and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, and are currently developing a proposal for our region. Your input and ideas are welcomed to develop an effective and efficient program with the campaign parameters. Please reach out with your ideas.

Stay Positive, Test Negative, Get Vaccinated.

Shop Local Campaign

From the OCC

Shop Local is an important initiative to supplement the Government of Canada’s ongoing and comprehensive support for small and local businesses through programs such as the new Canada Recovery Hiring Program, the Emergency Wage Subsidy, Emergency Rent Subsidy, Lockdown Support, and Emergency Business Account so they are able to get through this pandemic to the recovery and growth that will follow in the months and years to come.

COVID-19 rapid testing and screening in workplaces: What employers should know

Rapid antigen tests are important screening tools to help you protect your employees, customers, their families and the community where they live.

Not everyone who has COVID-19 will show symptoms. Studies suggest that people without symptoms may cause up to 50% of COVID-19 transmission. You can help reduce the risk of outbreaks by regularly testing and screening your employees.
