About this Event

If you joined us for the networking session at 4:00 – we hope you’ll stay “in the room” – if you’re just able to join us at 5:00, we look forward to seeing you for a wee social at the end of a week of more Zoom sessions than we’ve done since summer started (when did it end, anyway?)

About this Event

We’ve all heard networking is the key to success… it’s hard enough without being isolated to virtual meetings but what are the key things to make it really work?

Truth is, networking is not about selling. It’s about building relationships. We’re all part of a business that has something someone needs; networking is meant to be about connecting with those who need what you have.

Join us as we discuss some tips and tricks that will make it easier to walk into a room, either virtually or face-to-face, and connect.

Once we’re finished talking about it, grab your favourite beverage and we’ll have a chance to practice! Session runs from 4:00 – 5:00 followed by a virtual mingle “wine @5”

About this Event

Throughout the pandemic, many businesses relied on the support provided by the Federal Government. As restrictions extend and continue to limit the ability of small business owners to support their staff and serve their customers, Parliament needs to know how their programs have worked and where they may fall short.

Some things make sense, others are much harder to understand. This is a chance to share the good, the bad & the ugly of working through COVID as a business within the Bay of Quinte region.

Small virtual round-table discussions will identify key concerns between 12:30 -1:15 and then be presented to our MP Neil Ellis.

About this Event

Throughout the pandemic, many businesses have had to adjust how they interact with their staff and customers. Queen’s Park/Provincial government decisions on regulations often reflect the concerns of those at greatest risk; we’re all working to make sense of whether a regional approach is better than a provincial approach.

Some things make sense, others are much harder to understand. This is a chance to share the good, the bad & the ugly of working through COVID as a business within the Bay of Quinte region.

Small virtual round-table discussions will identify key concerns between 10:15 – 11:00 and then be presented to our MPP Todd Smith.

HPEPH staff join us for an open conversation about rules, regulations, inspections and enforcement. They are here to answer your questions.

About this Event

Throughout the pandemic, many businesses have had to adjust how they interact with their staff and customers. Rules come down through the province but how they are applied locally can be different – find out more about how these rules come to be, the adverse events they are meant to prevent and how to interpret them effectively.

Some things make sense, others are much harder to implement. This is a chance to share the good, the bad & the ugly of working through COVID with staff from the Hastings Prince Edward Health Unit and bylaw enforcement.
