The Dufferin Board of Trade (DBOT) was greatly honoured to receive the Chair’s Award for Innovative Service during the awards night at the recent Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) Convention in Windsor.
The award was presented in recognition of DBOT’s development of the Dufferin Biz Hub, a growing social enterprise that provides coworking space, private offices, meeting rooms, and professional business support services. The Biz Hub serves as an innovative, revenue-generating initiative that provides non-dues income to help keep membership fees low while continuing to deliver high-quality programs and services to the local business community.
Among its notable initiatives is Level Up Dufferin, a values-based training program that helps local businesses build their capacity as LGBTQ+ Safe Spaces, environmentally and socially responsible organizations, and champions of accessibility and inclusivity.
