Dear neighbours, (a message from Hon. Michael Chong, M.P.)

Dear neighbours,

Cases of novel coronavirus and the disease it causes (COVID-19) continue to emerge in Canada. Federal, provincial and municipal governments are working together to respond to this rapidly evolving situation.

I have spoken with many of you in recent days, and am aware of the significant challenges the response to the novel coronavirus outbreak is creating for businesses, both small and large. Your federal and provincial governments are aware of the challenges you are facing.

The federal government has indicated that it will be coming forward with an economic aid package. Details have yet to be released, and the work on this economic aid package is ongoing.

During this coronavirus emergency, it is important to keep calm, help your fellow citizens, and follow the advice of local, provincial and federal governments. They are all working hard to ensure the safety and security of Canadians.

If you have questions about the coronavirus, you can call the federal government at (833) 784-4397 or you can visit www.canada.ca/coronavirus

You can also visit the provincial government’s coronavirus webpage at www.ontario.ca/page/2019-novel-coronavirus

As your Member of Parliament, I will continue to closely monitor the situation and will continue to work closely with MPP Ted Arnott, municipal leaders and your Chamber.

As always, you can contact me at (866) 878-5556.

Sincerely,

Michael Chong

Hon. Michael Chong, M.P.

About the Author

Dana Burdenuk

I worked most recently with Habitat for Humanity Wellington Dufferin Guelph where I was responsible for procuring donated products from local businesses for the ReStores and build sites. This role got me involved with many of our great businesses here in Centre Wellington as well as participating on the Member Services Committee with CWCC.

Habitat was a big career change for me as I had spent the previous 25 years working in corporate Human Resources and Sales & Marketing roles in a number of industries including Manufacturing, Distribution, and Financial Services. I made the decision to leave the corporate world behind to pursue opportunities to be more community-focused (and spend less time travelling all over North America!).

When the opportunity for the GM role with CWCC presented itself, I felt it was a perfect blend of my skills, business knowledge, and passion. I was previously a Board of Directors member with the Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce and participated in their Membership Services Committee for eight years, which gave me a good understanding of the Chamber business model. I’m so pleased to be here, focused on providing service, solutions and benefits to local businesses and raising awareness of the value that the Chamber provides.
