Chamber of Commerce gauging local business confidence

The Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce is gathering feedback from local businesses on the challenges they face.

It launched an online survey, the results of which will help develop and enhance advocacy efforts.

"This survey is one of our key tools," said CEO Rakesh Naidu. "The results and insights gathered from this survey will help shape our policy resolutions, influence budget submissions, and provide essential feedback for our ongoing collaboration with elected officials and government entities."

Chamber members can also provide feedback on existing programs and services, but the survey is open to all local business owners.

"Nobody knows the challenges your business faces more than you, and this survey provides the opportunity to directly impact our policy work in your sector and community," added Naidu.

The chamber will give survey respondents two complimentary tickets to one of the Chamber's After Business Networking events between now and June 2025. Three submissions will also win a $100 gift card prize.

The survey is open until November 15, and the results will be presented at the Chamber's Annual General Meeting on December 11.
