Kicking off at 5 pm, we’re inviting you to grab a glass of wine or a drink out of your own fridge and hang out with some fellow Chamber members. This is a social event.
So join us for some casual networking and chatting over Zoom.
As the COVID-19 virus is slowly being brought under control by social distancing measures and widespread testing, provinces across Canada are starting to gradually reopen their economies, and manufacturers need to be ready to ramp up again.
Unfortunately, the resumption of full scale operations doesn’t necessarily mean a return to business as usual. The “new normal” will include a host of new safety protocols including: changes to production floors to accommodate social distancing, revised employee shift arrangements and schedules, new cleaning and sanitation regimens, new PPE requirements, changes to how logistics are handled, and manufacturers also need to consider contingency plans for future emergencies, such as a second wave of the virus.
Financial considerations also loom large. Companies might need to access grants or loans to get their operations up to pre-pandemic levels.
To help manufacturers make sense of how to operate in a post-COVID world, we will bring together industry experts, trade association representatives and professional advisors in a FREE virtual summit to have an open discussion about how to navigate these choppy waters.

This is a time of great change and hardship in communities across our nation. Strict policies and regulations have been introduced in order to protect the lives and welfare of all citizens, particularly, those who are most vulnerable. Due to these regulations, the economy has essentially been in lock-down. The impacts of this resulting in mass job loss and fear for what may be an exceptionally long road to economic stability. While everyone is trying to cope in a state of our constantly changing climate, mental health professionals are raising the red flag on not only the effects that isolation is having during COVID-19 but also the direct correlation between the economic impacts and mental health.
