After last month’s meeting with

Minister of Finance Charles

Sousa, the President commented

that the Chamber had sent in a

formal submission for the Pro-

vincial Pre-budget Consulta-

tions. To view the submission,

click here.

President Shogren also had the

opportunity to comment on the

Federal Budget and the media

release can be viewed here.

Dean Decaire of BDO Canada

LLP presented the Chamber’s

audited statements for fiscal

2013; these statements were

subsequently approved by the

board by resolution at the

February board meeting.

Treasurer Charles Elliott also

presented the 2014 Chamber

budget for approval with

expenditures of $390,000 and

a projected surplus of $659.

The budget was approved via

resolution for 2014.

President Shogren was pleased

to see that Premier Wynne dur-

ing her visit to North Bay took

the opportunity to meet with

ONTC management and unions

and provided the go ahead for

the groups to provide the com-

mittee a plan to move forward.

President Shogren is looking

forward to hearing positive news

from this collaboration.

Condolences were offered to the

families of Tom “Timber”

Graham and Anne Martyn; both

were former directors of the

Chamber. President Shogren

also offered condolences to the

family of Joan Demarco, long-

time business owner with her

husband Tony of Demarco’s

Confectionery.

VP Jake Lacourse presented a

timely partnership that has been

formed between the Chamber,

HOST (Hospitality Organization

Strengthening Tourism) and the

City of North Bay recreation

department that has now hired

Larry Tougas, a well-known

sports ambassador who’s role is

to reach out to sporting events

that could be hosted in our area.

Providing bids to future

opportunities and fill a calendar

of potential events and confer-

ences during off-peak times to

promote our facilities and the

community.

The board also approved a

resolution to provide a letter

of support to a private multi-

use recreation facility called

Summer365 that is looking at

locating a 35,000 sq. ft. indoor

sports facility here in our area.

Summer365 is designed to allow

athletes of summer sports the

opportunity train and play the

sport they love all year round.

Summer365 already has a loca-

tion in Newmarket and they are

asking for letters of intent from

sports groups and organizations

in the region to see if it is a

viable option to open a facility

here.

The membership committee has

been speaking with the Mattawa

Bonfield Chamber of Commerce

to see how we can partner with

them this year to assist them in

hosting events and having a

larger voice for business. The

Mattawa Chamber is

volunteer led and would

benefit from having the

support of the North Bay

& District Chamber of

Commerce. We look

forward to this potential

partnership this year.

Attention North Bay Service Clubs My name is J-D Robinson and I am the president of the

North Bay Kinsmen club. I am writing to extend an

invitation to our general meeting on March 20, in which we

have invited Mayor Al MacDonald to discuss service clubs

in North Bay and his local initiatives. Our meeting will take

place at the North Bay Legion at 6:30pm, and we anticipate

that it will last approximately 1.5 hours.

We welcome any interested members from your club to

attend this meeting so that they can speak with the mayor.

We also hope that, by welcoming members from other local

service clubs, we may explore the possibility of forming

mutually beneficial partnerships that will benefit the

community. At the very least, we look forward to making

some new friends!

If you are interested in attending the meeting, please RSVP

by Clicking Here by March 6 so that we can have the

necessary seating available. We look forward to seeing

everyone who can attend.

Have a great day,

J-D Robinson President, North Bay
