COVID-19 Business Impact Survey: Saugeen Shores Chamber of Commerce

COVID-19 Business Impact Survey

Since the pandemic started significantly affecting our daily lives, the Saugeen Shores Chamber is interested in learning how your business operations have been impacted and how we can continue to support you. This survey will take approximately 4 minutes to complete. While individual responses will be confidential, we will share results of this survey with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the municipality of Saugeen Shores.

There is strength in numbers, and we are in this together. #EmpowerCultivateConnect #SaugeenShoresStrong
