A Message from the Centre Wellington Chamber of Commerce

 

Please read below for the latest information on the Centre Wellington Chamber of Commerce (CWCC) and COVID-19. We look forward to continuing to support our members and our business community during this unprecedented time. 

 

Updates will be posted on our website, as they become available.

 

CWCC Chamber Office

To help slow the rate of COVID-19 infection, the Centre Wellington Chamber office will be closed to the public until further notice. Staff will continue to be available by email between 9:00am – 5:00pm Monday to Friday. Staff email addresses are:

 

• Dana Burdenuk, General Manager: chamber@cwchamber.ca
• Elaine Black, Office Administrator: membership@cwchamber.ca (available Mon-Thurs 9am-3pm)
• Sally Litchfield, Event Planner: events@cwchamber.ca

 

Please feel free to provide your phone number via email if you require a phone call. We are committed to supporting our members and community during this difficult time.

 

CWCC Chamber Events

All in-person CWCC-hosted networking and education events scheduled in March and April will be postponed to a later date. We will honour all tickets and sponsorships purchased. Should any ticket holders not be able to attend on the new dates, we will process refunds/credits at that time. Information and updates for all events can be found on our events page.  Please note that a decision has not been made at this time regarding the Awards of Excellence Gala currently scheduled for May 5, 2020. More information on this signature event will follow shortly.  If you have any questions about an event or a cancellation, please email membership@cwchamber.ca.

 

Our top priority is the health and safety of our members and our community. By implementing a degree of “social distancing” as recommended by public health authorities, our objective is to help interrupt the chain of transmission in the wider community, which in turn will help protect vulnerable individuals and help keep our health care system from becoming overburdened.

 

Boardrooms

All Boardroom Rentals have been cancelled until further notice. 

 

Pandemic Mitigation and Response Planning Webinar

In an effort to provide our members with the knowledge and tools to develop effective pandemic mitigation and response plans, we are working with the Guelph Chamber of Commerce who is offering a Pandemic Mitigation and Response Planning Webinar on Thursday March 19^th at 9:00am. For more information or to register to participate please click here.

 

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will communicate changes and updates through our website. Please refer to Wellington Dufferin Guelph Public Health for health-related supports and to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce for resources and guides to support your business.
