Huron Chamber launches new Breakfast Briefing series
The Huron Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce the launch of its new ‘Breakfast Briefing’ series a monthly event designed to provide members with valuable networking opportunities and informative presentations. This series is an excellent complement to the Chamber’s popular ‘Business After 5’ events, recognizing that not everyone can attend evening gatherings. Each ‘Breakfast Briefing’ will feature a local member or service provider delivering a brief presentation on a topic crucial to the community of businesses, all while enjoying a heart breakfast. These sessions will foster connections and provide actionable insights to help members thrive. Upcoming Breakfast Briefings: • September 10: Jeffery Scholl from Contact North will discuss the various employee training opportunities available to local employers, highlighting many that are offered at no cost. • October 8: Shawn Chadwick from Workplace Safety and Prevention Services (WSPS) will present on the numerous ways WSPS, a publicly funded organization, can help businesses reduce their health and safety costs. “We are excited to offer this new series as a way to engage our members and provide them with essential resources and information,” said Colin Carmichael, Executive Director of the Huron Chamber of Commerce. “The Breakfast Briefings will not only help our members stay informed, but also offer a convenient time for those who prefer morning events.” The Chamber is actively seeking hosts and sponsors for this series. If your business is willing to serve breakfast to a group of Chamber members, or able to financially support this event series, contact the Chamber at info@huronchamber.ca

Goderich Track Rebuild continues to receive generous donations
KATHLEEN SMITH Editor
The Goderich Track Rebuild Committee started planning for the project months ago and are currently running a campaign to raise funds to support this project. According to the committee, a lot of fundraising has happened recently, and committee members are grateful for all the donations to date. Some of the most recent donations include $620 from GDCI students, $25,000 from Unifor, and $10,000 from the Ladies Auxiliary. “We are very excited, and thankful for the positive community response,” noted Nicole Machan, of the Goderich Track Rebuild Committee.
“We are hoping that the momentum continues to get us closer to the goal of being able to rebuild the track.” The track and adjacent facilities need significant upgrades, and the estimated cost for the project is valued at $500,000. With support for this project, plans include replacing the track and doing upgrades to the basketball and beach volleyball courts. In May Doug Cruickshank from the Goderich Track Rebuild spoke on the very ambitious project to the Ladies Auxiliary. On June 11 the Ladies Auxiliary Branch 109 held their June general meeting, where they passed a motion to donate to the project.
