Municipal and Provincial Government Advocacy
The SSCC is connected with municipal and provincial government in the Bruce County region. We develop and maintain positive relationships with senior officials and key decision makers in the region, and then we leverage these relationships for strategic policy development and advocacy for business development. This is time consuming, but is incredibly valuable.
Networking and Connecting
We regularly host networking events including Business After Hours, Networking & Referral Group and more. We also organize several economic development events as well as community events throughout the year. Aside from being fun, these events give you the opportunity to meet with the SSCC board of directors and other members, share ideas, and in some cases, make referrals to each other. Sponsorship opportunities are available for these events and are an excellent way to show support for your community.
