bki (Business Knowledge Initiative)
Teambki launches their information sessions starting on January 7th and 8th from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm at the Newmarket Chamber offices on the Community Adjustment Fund (CAF).  Our calendar is now available and we look forward to your participation. If you would like to receive information, communications and invites to bki events, information sessions and seminars please contact us at teambki@newmarketchamber.ca

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.

Member Spotlight
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.
