The Huron Chamber of Commerce recently celebrated the grand opening of its new office in Clinton.
On November 10, the chamber was joined by Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson, who also serves as Ontario’s Minister of Rural Affairs, for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Also in attendance was Central Huron Mayor Jim Ginn, Mayor-elect Marg Anderson, Deputy Mayor-elect Dave Jewitt, CAO Steve Doherty, Clerk Shannon Black and Community Improvement Coordinator Angela Smith. North Huron CAO Nelson Santos, South Huron Mayor-elect Ted Oke and Community Relations Manager Brittany Wise were also present.
The move to Clinton comes during a period of significant growth for the Huron Chamber, which was recently recognized as the third fastest-growing Chamber of Commerce in Canada, according to a media release on the chamber's website. The new space will provide room for organizational growth, meeting spaces and capacity for small events and a better setup for delivering programs and services.
"Huron County is fortunate to have an exceptional business support ecosystem," said Colin Carmichael, Executive Director of the Huron Chamber of Commerce. "The Chamber is one of several organizations working to support local businesses, each bringing different resources, expertise and services to the table. What makes that ecosystem so valuable is that these organizations are genuine partners. We work actively and collaboratively with one another, sharing a common goal of helping Huron County businesses thrive. That’s something worth recognizing and celebrating."
