Elevate|HER, an initiative in collaboration with the incredible GBF Community Services, is all about supporting and empowering two women in our community currently accessing GBF programs. This initiative, established in 2023, provides a meaningful “hand up” through donations of targeted and personally meaningful products and services – many from women-led businesses in our Chamber network and Grimsby community. This year, we invite you to be part of our 2026 Elevate|HER initiative by sponsoring our event and/or donating items that will make a direct (and lasting) impact on a woman and her family. Your generosity will help provide comfort, dignity, and essential support.
Be sure to scroll to see the incredible contributors so far! We’d love to add your logo! If you’d like to sponsor, reach out to us at info@grimsbychamber.com. We are looking for donated items to be dropped off to the Chamber office by end of day Friday, February 27, so we have time to coordinate the gift packages with the team at GBF. We are grateful for your consideration and continued generosity 💛 PS – As a thank-you, anyone sponsoring or donating $50 or more in monetary funds, items, or gift cards will receive a promo code for free registration to our ElevateHER Luncheon on Friday, March 6 at 1PM at the YMCA in Grimsby (the $10pp registration fee will be waived).

THANK YOU TO OUR CURRENT SPONSORS
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!

A successful Chamber Spark to kick off February 2026!
Our first Chamber Spark event of the year took place on Thursday, February 5 at Bright Workspace, and needless to say, it was wonderful!
We want to send a heartfelt thank you to Bright Workspace for hosting and sponsoring the event and for being such thoughtful collaborators. The welcoming atmosphere, pizza, wine, and refreshments, really helped set the tone for an engaging and enjoyable evening of connection.
The room was full of energy, with a strong mix of returning attendees and new faces. From the moment the event began, members were eager to introduce themselves, start conversations, and make the most of the time together, which we always love to see! Chamber Spark continues to be one of our most engaged networking events, one where connections made in the room often translate into meaningful collaborations beyond the event itself.
Many thanks to Board members, Justin Iacoboni and Serina Carbone, for guiding us through our presentation and helping make everyone feel comfortable! We appreciate you both so much.
And finally, thank you to everyone who joined us and chose to spend their Thursday evening connecting with the Chamber community. We’re looking forward to hosting another Chamber Spark in Q2 and hope to see you at one of our upcoming events as we continue through Q1!

Destination Niagara Strategy: What It Means for Local Businesses
The Province of Ontario has launched the Destination Niagara Strategy, a long-term plan designed to protect and grow Ontario’s economy by unlocking the full tourism potential of the Niagara region.
For local businesses, this strategy signals new opportunities for growth, investment, and increased visitor spending – not just in Niagara Falls, but across rural and small communities throughout the region.
The strategy reimagines Niagara as Ontario’s Playground — where falls, fun, food, wine, and culture come together. While Niagara Falls remains a global draw, the Province is intentionally encouraging visitors to explore beyond traditional tourism hubs and into local communities, farms, restaurants, shops, and experience-based businesses.
Niagara already welcomes more than 13 million visitors annually, supporting thousands of jobs across hospitality, agriculture, retail, and service sectors. The Destination Niagara Strategy aims to build on this momentum by encouraging longer stays, broader exploration, and deeper local economic impact.
Five Pillars Driving Regional Growth
Investment and development under the Destination Niagara Strategy are focused on five priority areas: > Tourism attractions > World-class gaming > Wine and culinary tourism > Arts and culture > Transportation development
Together, these pillars are designed to increase visitation, improve access, and strengthen economic activity across the entire region.
What This Means Locally: Agriculture, Wine & Agritourism
Niagara is Canada’s largest wine-producing region, responsible for 86% of Ontario’s grape production and nearly two-thirds of Canada’s total grape and wine output. Beyond vineyards, the region’s farms, greenhouses, and food producers play a critical role in shaping Niagara’s economy and identity.
The strategy places strong emphasis on agritourism and culinary tourism, aligning with growing visitor demand for authentic, locally rooted experiences. By elevating Niagara’s “taste of place,” the strategy supports: Farmers’ markets and farm-gate experiences Restaurants, wineries, cideries, breweries, and distilleries Culinary tourism and food-driven events Rural and small-town economic development
With Niagara restaurants gaining international recognition, including inclusion in the MICHELIN Guide, this attention benefits businesses well beyond major tourism corridors.
Targeted Investment in the Grape & Wine Sector
The Destination Niagara Strategy includes significant provincial investment to strengthen the long-term viability of Niagara’s grape and wine industry, including:
Ontario Grape Support Program: up to $35M annually over five years
Enhanced VQA Wine Support Program: $84M annually ($420M over five years)
Wine Boutique Support Program: $16.7M over five years
Up to $41M for irrigation infrastructure through the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program
Increased LCBO promotion of Ontario-made and small-batch products
These investments support local producers, improve infrastructure, and expand market access.
Aligning with Niagara’s Tourism Growth
The Destination Niagara Strategy emphasizes authentic, locally rooted experiences that reflect Niagara’s agriculture, culture, and communities. As visitation grows and expands beyond traditional tourism hubs, businesses across many sectors may find new opportunities to benefit from increased regional activity.
Alignment can take many forms. Businesses may wish to consider how visitors discover information about their offerings, whether products or services could appeal to seasonal or visiting audiences, and how local partnerships or collaborations could enhance the overall visitor experience. Highlighting connections to local products, culture, or community — and strengthening digital visibility — can also help businesses connect with travellers planning their Niagara experience.
Tourism growth extends beyond attractions alone, creating broader economic impact through increased local spending and demand. Even small, thoughtful adjustments can help position businesses to respond as Niagara’s tourism and economic landscape continues to evolve.

The Grimsby Chamber board formally endorses the Elect Respect resolution on January 13, 2026
Democracy is stronger when we treat each other with respect. We have signed the Elect Respect pledge ahead of our 2026 municipal elections to help build a better future for our Chamber, business and resident communities.
Endorsement of the Elect Respect resolution is explicitly non-partisan. It does not support or oppose any political party, candidate, or policy position. It focuses instead on how dialogue occurs, emphasizing civility, professionalism, and respect, regardless of differing views.
Why is this appropriate for the Chamber to endorse?
The Chamber routinely promotes respectful workplace culture and professional conduct.
Business leaders are community leaders and role models.
A healthy business climate relies on trust, collaboration, and safe participation in civic life.
Many boards are stepping forward to endorse the Elect Respect Resolution, helping to strengthen a culture of respectful, civil, and solutions-focused governance. See our logo amongst other Chamber and Board of Trade logos proudly displayed on the Elect Respect website →Boards
