First of all, the Chamber would like to inform its members of an Ontario government web site that lists tendering opportunities.

Boston is That Close to Cornwall


 

 

 


 

  

In 2008, a plucky little airline decided that an air link between Massena/Cornwall and Boston would be a good idea. Seven years later it looks like the prediction was a good one as Cape Air has firmly established itself as a quick and reliable link to 'Beantown' and beyond. Not only that, Cornwall area travelers no longer have to make the drive to the large, congested and expensive airports in Ottawa and Montreal.

 

Chamber member Cape Air is an award winning airline that has become popular with travelers on both sides of the border. It has achieved that goal by providing travelers with good service ...

 Don't Let Unnecessary Downtime Cost You Money 


 

 

 

 

     

 

We all think that workplace injuries and the resulting loss of production or staff are limited to large industry. However, small businesses can experience injury and downtime at their workplaces, too. The Workplace Safety and Prevention Services has some tips on how to protect your business and the people who work for you.

 

In small businesses, even minor incidents can slow down or halt activities.
