We have just sent a letter to the panel urging them to consider the cost to business when they make these significant one time hikes to the minimum wage. The Quinte West Chamber is one of 36 chambers that has signed this letter on behalf of our members.
The Quinte West Chamber of Commerce is the 'Voice of Business' in Quinte West and we will represent businesses of all sizes on issues that matter to you, our members.
Recent Issues the Chamber has been involved with locally
Removal of the Home Occupation Licences for Home Based businesses in Quinte West. The Chamber worked with the City to remove this by-law which was over 30 years old and was a detrement to business in Quinte West.
Updates to the City Signage By-law. The Chamber is working with businesses and the City's Marketing and Signage committee to review the proposed by-laws. At the end of the process we are looking to have a clear set of by-laws that would allow businesses to have the signage they need and would make it easier for the City to remove signs that are not compliant.
