Word from the President
Welcome to our website !
When I was asked to join the Board of the Hawkesbury and Region Chamber of Commerce, I saw an opportunity to highlight not only the aspirations, but also the concerns of our local businesses.
Soon after I arrived, I realized the magnitude of the task. To start, the restrictions linked to the current health crisis have impacted many projects as well as the operations of our businesses… not to mention their clients and customers!
Now is the time to take a hard look at the urban center that is Hawkesbury. The housing crisis, lack of manpower and all the empty commercial buildings are hampering the economic development of Hawkesbury and the surrounding rural area.
The health of our community is intrinsically linked to its economy. This is why the Chamber of Commerce is joining several local initiatives in order to give our local businesses a voice when it comes to finding solutions to these challenges.
My desire, as President, is to learn more about the concerns, ideas and success stories of our business community.
Let’s not forget, businesses actively participate in defining the lifestyle of our residents and visitors.
I don't mean to be "cheesy", but by banding together we can help steer our community towards better days. Together, we will convince our neighbours in Ottawa and Montreal that Hawkesbury is a great place to live.
As President of the Hawkesbury and Region Chamber of Commerce, I welcome you to our ranks.
We are listening, we are ready to take action, and most importantly, we are your voice.
All that remains is to come together and find the right message!
Maxime Myre, President
