Hello, valued Chamber member!
Many of us can agree that 2022 has not gotten off to the start that we were all hoping for.
With more government restrictions set in place with the rise of the Omicron variant, many small businesses are feeling as though they are right back to where they were nearly two years ago, at the beginning of the pandemic.
Although the government has announced a handful of programs (the Ontario Chamber of Commerce is developing a full list of provincial and federal support programs that we will share as soon as possible), it is clear that our businesses need more supports if we want to see our local economy rebound. Additionally, as future variants are bound to rear their head and affect economic activity, we need the government to develop a consistent plan that outlines how businesses will be supported throughout ongoing public health measures.
This widespread uncertainty is why the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce is doing everything in our power to make the lives of small business owners a little bit easier.
Running an independent business, even without the unpredictability that COVID-19 and its variants have created, is a courageous and noble act. The amount of work that goes into making your dream come to life is an incredible feat that you should all be immensely proud of. It is admirable to watch our small business owners here in Lincoln persevere throughout these times, and we would like to remind you that the Lincoln Chamber is behind you 100%.
Small businesses are absolutely vital to the fabric of our communities, and we will continue to use every resource that we have available to us to help you and your business.
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions for us, please never hesitate to reach out at
lindsey@lincolnchamber.ca and we will be more than happy to assist.
We appreciate you all.
Please read on to learn about what the Lincoln Chamber is doing for you and your business throughout these unpredictable times.
