The Kawartha Chamber of Commerce & Tourism and the Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce are pleased to announce that they have merged to be one collective Chamber as of January 2021.

“We’re very excited about this opportunity to join forces,” added Joe Grant, Board Chair of the Peterborough Chamber of Commerce, “this consolidation will make our area a one-stop shop as a place to do business.” 

There are significant advantages to a consolidated Chamber, including: 

• There is power in numbers. A larger voice, combined with the joint influence and expertise of our individual members, offers the business community a stronger influence with Municipal, Provincial and Federal Governments. 
• Offering members access to a wider range of services. Increased exposure for members through our online directory, social media channels, marketing and advertising, sponsorship and events, new partnerships and collaborations.  
• Improved business fundamentals for members through quality training, reliable and relevant information, targeted programs, help in attracting and retaining employees, and adapting to new technologies. 
• A much stronger financial footing through savings in back office and overhead costs, enabling more resources to be focused on member services. 

“We are very positive about the opportunities that a consolidated Chamber will present. Whether we are putting on a networking event, or lobbying City or County Council, or the Provincial or Federal Governments, there is strength in numbers. This is one marketplace and we are committed to strengthening businesses in the entire County,” said Stuart Harrison, President & CEO of the Peterborough Chamber of Commerce.
