Sessions will run throughout January to March 2010 on the following topics:
"Technology Today" - Information sessions regarding strategic technology
areas that would positively impact business today. It is our intent to
cover IT topics that are not typical. Our business mentors who
specialize in these areas can fill the "gap" to provide knowledge and
guidance for small to medium sized businesses.
"Strategic Insight "- Strategic and insightful topics that businesses
need to think about and plan for when building their business and
marketing plans in the area of funding opportunities. These
information sessions will provide knowledge and guidance for businesses
using specialists, consultants and advisors in specific sectors
including representatives in the areas of funding applications.

The Chamber recognizes Southlake Regional Health Centre for their tremendous community contribution - they have opened the old
Tenatronics building to the local food bank, providing space for needed food donations for the Thanksgiving and Christmas
drives. Thank you Southlake! A
great example of maximizing resources within the community. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Chamber member, Chantal's Dance Academy,
had a huge stage recently when they conducted a half-time performance at the
last Argonaut's season game in the SkyDome! Students were greeted with
cheers and applause as they showed off their moves, and Newmarket was flashed on the big screen to
all in attendance. Congratulations! Check out their
performance.
