If you own or run a business, we want your input. The Ontario Chamber of Commerce has launched its
ninth annual Business Confidence Survey. Your insights and perspective will be used to guide political
and business leaders across the province. The key is having enough local responses to be able to
generate accurate local data for people like myself to use to advocate for the needs of local businesses.
Please take 5 minutes to fill out the survey at occ.ca.

Do you want to learn about what Peterborough is doing to build a stronger business community? The
Chamber is hosting its annual Mayor’s Breakfast on November 21 at Peterborough Golf and Country
Club starting at 7:30am. There will be a moderated discussion with Mayor Jeff Leal followed by a
question and answer secession focused on local business issues. Get your tickets at pkchamber.ca.

If you want to have your business featured on the Business Beat or know of a business doing something
new and interesting, shoot me an email at joel@pkchamber.ca.
