Update me on Oakville Business Events

 




The Business Advocate - The Chamber Magazine

 

Guest Speakers

The Oakville Chamber of Commerce is recognized for its outstanding business events throughout Ontario. Much of our visibility comes from the politicians and business leaders who have accepted our invitation to speak.

While it is important for local business people to hear directly from our political leaders—it is equally as important for us to have the opportunity to speak to them and inform them of our business concerns.

 

The Chamber hosted John Oliver, CEO, and Bill Bailey, VP, Redevelopment, Halton Healthcare Services to discuss Oakville's new hospital. Here is a link to questions and answers from the session. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
