After what was likely the most challenging few months of our lives, we are all left reviewing our finances, personally and professionally, and questioning how we can be better prepared for another hit to our bottom lines. Join us for an educational approach to how money works, where we cover concepts on how you can get the best return on your investment of time, energy, and money so that you can be confident that your money will be working as hard as you do.
Feeling disconnected? Join us for a zoom networking meeting - let us help reconnect you. One of the key functions of the Barrie Chamber is facilitating business connections. We've been doing this on an individual basis these past few months, and we have brought back that personal face-to-face format while maintaining a safe distance in this online format. Agenda: Welcome Breakout rooms for smaller group chats Group check-in conversations Thank you & closing
Schools are now open, allowing more parents to return to work, and hopefully helping our economy to get back on track. We are, of course, all vigilantly watching to see what impact this will have on the numbers, and continuing our safe distancing practices. As we know, the situation continues to evolve daily, and the task of guiding Canadians through Covid-19 is far from over. The government is still actively seeking input to ensure that needs are met, and to address the issues faced by various sectors and communities. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have truly seen the spirit of Team Canada, as every level of government has come together to ensure that Canadian families and businesses are helped through the economic implications of COVID-19. They have announced supports, listened to feedback, and then made adjustments to meet the needs of Canadians. The cooperation of all involved has made the decision-making process faster than we've ever seen before. Meetings like this are a critical part of communicating with our local elected officials, ensuring that they are able to represent our community's needs in regional, provincial, and national discussions. Barrie area elected officials have been invited to give an update and then answer your questions.
2020 has seen many changes to our every day lives, not least of which is the return to school. Parents had to make a difficult decision about what would be best for their family, and then figure out how to make it work. For the parents who chose the remote learning option for their children, schooling likely looks very different than it did in the spring. As the weeks progress, families will start to see what is working for them and where they may need more help. Join us on October 8th at 3:00 pm as we bring together a panel of experts to share their tips and resources to support you, and then answer your questions. From setting workplace boundaries with your kids, reducing anxieties, and dealing with zoom fatigue, to helping your kids stay focused, or getting extra help, this session will help you to know that you made the right decision for your family, and that you will get through this together. EXPERT PANEL: -Sue Cook, Family TLC -Arlinda Demiri, Scholarly Elite Tutoring -Michele Kapteyn, Empower Simcoe
