Thankfully, online networks have filled the void. Better yet, they can help your business grow…if you know how to use them.
Most online marketing programs only focus on the technical and tactical aspects of social networks. They promote the idea that online visibility creates connections, without mentioning that these connections are worthless if you can’t convert them into relationships.

The North Grenville Chamber of Commerce is spearheading a new and expanded shop local campaign – in partnership with the Old Town Kemptville Business Improvement Area and the Municipality of North Grenville.

It includes several initiatives designed to help raise awareness about the importance of shopping local and increase spending at local businesses. A new ad campaign will include:
• Print and digital media,

Nearly one hundred acres of fertile farmers’ fields will be transformed into a Tented City with temporary streets, entertainment stages, live demos, exhibits and other special features. So much to see and do! For the expected 75,000+ visitors, we believe our exhibitors and corporate partners are the #1 attraction within Tented City. The 5-day event will provide excellent opportunities for participating companies and organizations to showcase their products and services.
Minimum wage is the lowest wage rate an employer can pay an employee. Most employees are eligible for minimum wage, whether they are full-time, part-time, casual employees, or are paid an hourly rate, commission, piece rate, flat rate or salary. Some employees have jobs that are exempt from the minimum wage provisions of the Employment Standards Act. See Industries and jobs with Employment Standards Act exemptions and/or special rules for information on these job categories.
Compliance with the minimum wage requirements is determined on a pay period basis.
