Recap: Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for DOLLARXPRO – April 11, 2026

This past Saturday, April 11, we celebrated the grand opening of DOLLARXPRO in downtown Grimsby with an intimate ribbon cutting ceremony and it was a really lovely way to kick off our Saturday morning!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to mark this milestone with us. We were honoured to have Mayor Jeff Jordan on site to say a few words and cut the ribbon, and thanks also to Councillor Freake for coming by to show his support. Our very own Chamber Board Chair, Daniel Vandersteen, joined us to represent the Chamber community. We also loved having reps from the Downtown BIA in the room! This kind of community presence means everything. And a special welcome to Karen Byker who owns Reflections Photography Studio in Grimsby on the Lake, we look forward to celebrating you on May 9th! 

A big thank you to Khush and the DOLLARXPRO team for welcoming us into your space and allowing us to be part of this celebration. We are so glad to have you as part of the Grimsby Chamber community and we look forward to growing alongside you.

DOLLARXPRO is more than your average dollar store. From an incredible selection of party supplies and customizable balloons to everyday essentials and unique finds you wouldn’t necessarily expect, there is genuinely something for everyone in there. If you haven’t visited before, this is your sign to do so.

And to sweeten the deal, they are running a 20% off sale from April 11th–18th. Go check them out, treat yourself, and support a fellow local business while you’re at it!

Congratulations, DOLLARXPRO!

Behind The Biz with BioPed Grimsby: An Awesome Afternoon!

On Wednesday, April 8th, we hosted a Behind the Biz Drop-In Day at BioPed Grimsby and we have to say, the turnout and energy exceeded all expectations! 

Chamber members, community neighbours, and curious first-time visitors filled the space throughout the afternoon, many of whom had never been inside BioPed before. What made the day so special was how engaged everyone was. People stayed around, explored, asked questions, and connected with the BioPed team in a genuine and meaningful way. A few guests even discovered their shoe size wasn’t quite what they thought! 

The BioPed team was warm, knowledgeable, and so appreciative of everyone who came through the door. It was a great reminder of why these community moments matter and of the incredible resource BioPed Grimsby is for our community. 

Plus, the 15 year anniversary celebration continues next month! Join us on Friday, May 22 for BioPed Grimsby’s milestone Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. There will be prizes, giveaways, special in-store pricing, and refreshments for all to enjoy. If you haven’t had a chance to meet the team yet, this is your next chance. 

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Behind The Biz Drop-In Day! It was a blast!

Recap: Connections on Tap

Our latest Connections on Tap gathering brought out an incredible crowd, filling Teddy’s with energy, conversation, and plenty of new connections. From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was lively, welcoming, and buzzing with activity – exactly what these events are all about!

We kicked things off with a round of introductions that gave everyone the chance to share a little about themselves, including what they like to do on their day off. It was a fun and easy way to break the ice, and it set the tone for the evening ahead.

From there, the conversations flowed naturally. One of the best parts of the night was seeing people move around the room, connecting with different groups rather than staying in one spot. New conversations sparked (pun intended ;)), ideas were exchanged, and plenty of insightful conversations were had. 

A special thank you goes out to Teddy’s Sports Bar for hosting us and taking such great care of the group. The team was incredibly attentive throughout the evening, making sure everyone felt welcomed and looked after.

Events like Connections on Tap are a reminder of how valuable simple, relaxed gatherings can be. They create space for genuine conversations, new introductions, and the kind of connections that strengthen our business community.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a success! Stay tuned for our next one!

Recap: ElevateHER 2026. What a beautiful celebration!

What an incredible afternoon!

This year’s ElevateHER Luncheon was filled with inspiration, generosity, and meaningful connection as our community came together to celebrate International Women’s Day and support women in our town.

Now in its fourth year, ElevateHER, in collaboration with GBF Community Services, continues to grow in both impact and participation. This year we welcomed more than 45 attendees, our largest gathering yet, and thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we were able to provide over $6,500 in combined monetary and item donations toward the initiative. The tables of donated items were a powerful visual reminder of what collective generosity can achieve.

Throughout the afternoon we heard powerful stories from the two recipients, shared moments of reflection, and celebrated the strength and resilience of women in our community. As always, there were tears, laughter, and a deep sense of connection that makes this event so meaningful year after year.

A very special thank you goes to GBF Community Services for continuing this collaboration with us. This event has become something we truly cherish, and we are incredibly grateful for the partnership and shared commitment to supporting women in our community.

We also extend our sincere thanks to GBF for providing the delicious lunch, as well as the two tables full of wonderful door prizes that added an extra element of excitement to the afternoon.

Thank you also to Miriam Cacciacarro from Studio Forte for bringing the musical element to the afternoon. Serenading us on your violin was incredibly moving and powerful. You are a true talent and beautiful person inside and out! 

And of course, none of this would be possible without the generosity of our sponsors and donors. Your support makes this initiative possible and helps ensure that meaningful resources reach those who need them most. Thank you for believing in the purpose behind this event.

Envision Grimsby 2051 Official Draft Plan Event Recap

Last week, we were pleased to host an information session for local businesses on the Envision Grimsby 2051 Official Draft Plan, in partnership with the Town’s Planning team and the Downtown BIA.

While the session was intentionally business-focused and more intimate in size, it brought together representatives from key employers and community stakeholders for a meaningful and productive discussion. Members of the Town’s Planning department, including the new Director of Planning, joined us and walked attendees through the draft Official Plan, key policy directions, and areas identified for intensification.

Some of the projections shared included a target population of 50,000 residents and approximately 7,100 new jobs by 2051 – significant growth that will shape the future of our business community.

Important questions were raised around next steps in the approval process, the future GO Station, downtown parking considerations, and the protection of agricultural lands atop the Escarpment. These conversations matter. They ensure the business perspective remains part of the dialogue as major planning decisions move forward.

Overall, the session served as an important touchpoint, strengthening relationships, encouraging transparency, and reinforcing why large-scale municipal planning projects require collaboration and long-term vision.Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the discussion.

If you have feedback you’d like us to share as the process continues, we encourage you to reach out 📧 info@grimsbychamber.com

Fast-Track Connections in collaboration with the Stoney Creek Chamber of Commerce was a great evening!

Our annual Fast-Track Connections in collaboration with the Stoney Creek Chamber of Commerce was a great evening of connection, conversation, and collaboration!

The event brought together a strong mix of Grimsby Chamber and Stoney Creek Chamber members, creating a relaxed and welcoming environment for meaningful introductions and new connections. Hosted at The Express Italian Eatery, we have to say the space was an ideal setting for speed networking – spacious, comfortable, and well-suited for one-on-one conversations throughout each round. Great venue selection, Brenda and her Stoney Creek team!

We’d like to extend a sincere thank you to the team at The Express Italian Eatery for their outstanding hospitality. From the attentive service to the food and drinks provided, everything was thoughtfully executed and warmly delivered. Many attendees shared positive feedback about both the experience and the menu, and we’re grateful for the care and professionalism shown by the entire team.

We also want to thank our friends at the Stoney Creek Chamber of Commerce for their continued partnership and for helping bring another successful Fast-Track Connections event to life! These collaborative events offer a valuable opportunity to expand networks beyond our immediate communities, meet professionals working across different regions, and create connections that often extend well beyond the room.

As a reminder, members of the Grimsby Chamber of Commerce receive 20% off a Stoney Creek Chamber membership, and Stoney Creek members receive the same discount when joining the Grimsby Chamber – a great benefit of this ongoing partnership.

Overall, it was an evening filled with engaged conversations, steady energy, and a shared willingness to connect. We hope attendees left feeling encouraged, supported, and inspired by the relationships started throughout the night.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and we look forward to hosting more collaborative events like this in the future!
