Ready to go for the 2024 Canadian Chamber of Commerce AGM here in Halifax with Chris Auger, MBA representing Belleville Chamber members.

Today, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce released an important policy primer about Ontario's substance use and overdose crisis. This is both a social and economic challenge as local businesses in Ontario communities find themselves near the frontlines of this human tragedy. Read our policy primer here: https://lnkd.in/ee3mXdDz Before releasing the primer, we were pleased to brief Michael Tibollo, Ontario's Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, and to welcome him to our office to meet with a cross-section of Chamber leaders from some of our most affected communities. We appreciated his thoughtfulness, depth of knowledge and desire for collaboration. Our key points: 1. Ontario must review the operating procedures and practices of existing interventions to reduce the unintended harm that can be caused to communities, while ensuring the crisis is managed through a public health lens that prevents mortality, improves recovery outcomes, reduces stigma and respects people's dignity. 2. Since the crisis extends well beyond this province, Ontario is not alone. Through improved data collection that enables direct comparisons of provincial outcomes, Ontario and other jurisdictions must learn from one another. 3. The voices of local businesses have not been sufficiently heard - or engaged in potential solutions. Success will require both a strategy and a culture of collaboration – with industry, government, healthcare and community organizations working together to mitigate the impacts of this crisis on people and communities everywhere. #ontario #addictions #mentalhealth #business Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce | Barrie Chamber of Commerce | Belleville Chamber of Commerce | Hamilton Chamber of Commerce | St. Thomas & District Chamber of Commerce | Peterborough and the Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce | Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce | Sault Ste.

While not all of us in the Chamber world are directly involved with tourism, it used to be a part of the mission in earlier days as a strategy to encourage new businesses and people into one's community. One tactic was to "bring conferences" ... and here I am in Timmins!

Honoured and excited to welcome Stacey Daub, President and CEO of Quinte Health as our speaker for this month's Belleville Chamber of Commerce breakfast. Her commitment to community health care was key to her choice to choose Belleville and the greater area served by the 4 hospitals and co-designing the future of re-imagining QHC as Creating healthier communities. Together. Presented by sponsor Brian Lavender of Lavender Lane Media.
