COVID-19 UPDATE
It is understandable that our local businesses and their employees are concerned about the future – for their businesses, staff, families and communities.
We’d like to reassure you that we are working closely with our local partners at a regional and national level to ensure you have access to accurate and up to date information, AND a channel through which you can feedback any of your concerns and the local issues arising out of this international emergency.
Our role during this time is to…
1. Guide businesses to access the resources and support they need now.
2. Gather local business intelligence to feed into the ‘COVID-19 Northland Business Response’ situation reports being coordinated by the Regional Economic Development Agency.
3. Continue to listen to, and advocate for, our local business community.
4. Support our regional partners in their efforts to provide resource and support during this period.
5. In time, as appropriate move into a co-ordinated recovery phase to ensure businesses can return to ‘business as usual’ or a modified version of BAU, as soon as possible.
We continue to provide…
Regular updates and links related to Covid 19 via this dedicated page on our website, or through our NorthChamber Facebook page.
Offers of free or discounted services, support and resources we receive from our business community.
