Is your business prepared for a pandemic?

Did you miss our pandemic planning session?  Don't worry - all the information you need is right here.  While a majority of businesses believe the threat of a pandemic is real, few are prepared with an emergency contingency plan.

In a survey conducted in the first two weeks of September by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC), almost 60 percent of businesses surveyed believe the threat of a pandemic is real.  Yet only about 22 percent of respondents have an emergency plan in place with another 27 percent who say they are working on developing one.  These results do not show a significant change from a similar 2005 survey, which showed less than 50 percent of those surveyed had a plan in place to protect their operations from any possible pandemic disruption.

Get more involved with the Chamber – Join a Committee!

As a member-driven organization, we rely on you, our members, to guide and inform the way we work. The primary way in which members can get involved is by joining a committee! Committees typically meet once per month, during noon hour.  We have various event and policy committees to meet all interests and areas of expertise.  All members are valued contributors to the organization – get involved today!
