Thank You and Goodbye to Monica Costello
It is with mixed feelings that we want to inform our members, that Monica Costello will be leaving the Chamber effective Sept. 12, 2016.
Monica has been a tremendous asset to the Chamber. A very dedicated, loyal and hard working employee for the past 15 years. Over the years she has been a positive ambassador for the Chamber and has built great relationships among our members and the local Business community. She and her husband have decided to move out West, to be closer to their family, we are sorry to see her go, but happy that she will be closer to family.

Yonge Street Construction - Business Support Program
York Region is growing. That's awesome news for businesses. But before we get there we have to build for it. That includes rapid transit, wider boulevards, new water mains and more. Construction can make the going get tough. We're here to make sure everyone keeps going.
To help support local businesses during the construction phase, vivaNext has developed a business support program in collaboration with local chambers of commerce and boards of trade that offers tools and information for their continued success as well as opening project information offices in the community. The program also gets the word out that businesses are still open during construction.
Learn more about the Business Support Programs by contacting Community Liaison:
