Muskoka Business Week will run Nov. 24 to 28 across the District of Muskoka.
The District of Muskoka created the week to support regional economic development, business-focused collaboration, and recognize the role local businesses, entrepreneurs, and community organizations play in Muskoka.
“Muskoka’s business community is the heart of our local economy and a driving force behind our region’s growth,” said Jeff Lehman, District Chair. “Muskoka Business Week is a celebration of innovation, collaboration, and the entrepreneurial spirit that makes our region such a remarkable place to live and work. The District is proud to partner with our Chambers of Commerce and community organizations to strengthen local supports for businesses across Muskoka.”
The week will feature 11 events across Muskoka designed to encourage collaboration, networking, entrepreneurship, and workforce development during the off-season.
The week of events begins on Nov. 24 with the Owner Shift Workshop. The following day, Nov. 25, includes both a Business Before Hours event and a Business After Hours event. On Nov. 26, Employment North will host Touring Trades.
The signature event, the Shift Happens Conference, will take place on Nov. 27, offering learning, collaboration, and discussions on adapting to change. The week concludes on Nov. 28 with the Expert Exchange Workshop, hosted by the Muskoka Small Business Centre and the District of Muskoka.
The initiative is led by the Muskoka Lakes Chamber of Commerce and supported by partner chambers, economic development organizations, area municipalities, and community groups, including the District.
