The Niagara Region launched an Open In Niagara website! It is a space for businesses in Niagara to share their current operation status.

Now, more than ever, a strong and updated online presence is essential for reaching clients and customers.
Make sure your website and social media accounts clearly communicate:
Please share with us the impact COVID-19 has had on your business or organization. Your responses will help determine next steps and recommendations for various levels of government on relief and rebuild measures. Take the survey HERE.
We are regularly checking in with Members to discuss the ongoing impact the pandemic is having on you, as well as immediate needs for your business. Hearing from you helps us focus our efforts on what matters to our Membership.
We are also highlighting and encouraging local businesses on social media – including on our newly launched Instagram account. We hope to provide a platform where our Members can feel supported and access resources to help their business.
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and Ontario Chamber of Commerce are both advocating directly to government on behalf of Canadian business. We are actively engaged with both of these Chambers to provide our member feedback to help inform their advocacy efforts, ask questions, and provide you with accurate, up-to-date information.
If you have any feedback or questions you would like us to mention during the next conference call, please contact us – we’d love to hear from you.
It’s no secret – we’re all working together! The Grimsby, Lincoln, and West Lincoln Chambers of Commerce are working collectively as the West Niagara Chambers of Commerce to bring you up to date information and access to resources.
