The Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce and the Kawartha Chamber of Commerce and Tourism, recently confirmed that they will consolidate their operations at the end of this year.

Following a member vote that demonstrated 97 per cent support for the move, a provisional Board of directors will work throughout next year to ensure a successful transition. The Chamber both operate within the County of Peterborough and provide their members with advocacy, marketing and curated business information.

Both Chambers are putting the finishing touches on their annual business excellence awards. The Chambers asked the community to rally behind our businesses this year and both received a record number of entries.

The Peterborough Chambers virtual event will be held on Oct. 20. Details are at peterboroughchamber.ca The Kawartha Chamber event goes on Oct. 28 with details at kawarthachamber.ca.
