EXECUTIVE
VIEWPOINT
BY: MEGAN COUGHLIN, PRESIDENT
ANOTHER REASON WHY WE ARE KINGSTON’S VOICE
OF BUSINESS
Since January I have been using the slogan “Get Connected”!
Connected to the Chamber through the many new social media
sites we have created. Connected by way of face to face
participation in the many events the Chamber offers its
members. “Get connected” is also the slogan used by the
Canadian Chamber of Commerce and endorsed by the Ontario
Chamber. Remember that as a member of the Greater Kingston
Chamber of Commerce, you are also part of the larger provincial
and national counterparts, each with their strategic mandates.
“Get Connected” might seem like a very simple mantra for
Chambers to have; but as I learned at the Ontario Chamber of
Commerce Annual General Meeting last month, it is more than
just lip service. As a member of the Ontario Chamber, it is your
opportunity to voice to our local board of directors, those issues
that affect our workplace and businesses. Subsequently, if an
issue has provincial ramifications and can be “resolved” then it
can be brought forward to be adopted as a policy resolution by
the Ontario Chamber. As I witnessed Dalton McGuinty, Andrea
Horvath and Tim Hudak in attendance at the AGM, I understood
the power of the larger network as a lobby group. This is where
we become a true advocate and Kingston’s Voice of Business.
The Ontario Chamber of Commerce is lobbying for issues that
affect our daily businesses.
May 10th Breakfast – Setting a new course for tourism
in Eastern Ontario.
The Donald Gordon Conference Centre hosted our May
Chamber Breakfast featuring RTO 9 (Region 9 Regional
Tourism Organization) speakers Libby Smith and Richard
Johnston.
Libby Smith was announced as the RTO 9 Executive
Director effective February 22, 2011. Ms. Smith
engaged those in attendance with an inspiring talk
about her efforts to represent the region. The
organization is committed to attracting and sustaining
visitation growth, revenue and product development
for the region that stretches from Prince Edward County
to Cornwall.
Following an introduction by past RTO 9 co-chair and
owner of First Canada Inns in Kingston Bill Swan,
Richard Johnston, RTO 9 Board President gave a
detailed overview of the RTO 9 mandate. Mr. Johnston
is co-owner of By Chadsey's Cairns Winery and Vineyard
in Prince Edward County.
Thank you to McCoy Bus Service and tours for
sponsoring the occasion.
Pictured below, l-r, Chamber President Megan
Coughlin, Libby Smith, Bill Swan, and Richard Johnston.

Your Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce was able to have a

resolution pass that requests the OCC to lobby the Provincial
Government to change restrictions placed on skilled trades. This
ensures that the hard work over the past few years is not
forgotten and that the current restrictions that some apprentices
face must continue to be looked at. Trades are an essential part
of the business community and hurdles, especially now, can have
huge implications on employment opportunities in our
communities. If a tradesperson cannot find apprentice work in
Ontario, they move out of province. It is a topic such as this that
we encourage you to bring forward to your Chamber. Make your
voice heard and your membership will work for you!

The Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce took a
strong delegation to Toronto on May 6th and 7th at the
Sheraton Hotel in Toronto. This represented the 99th
anniversary of the Annual General Meeting, as the OCC
celebrated 100 years in business.
It was important to be represented at a time when the
Ontario Chamber and its network are changing course
on a few issues. Primarily, the OCC and your local
Chambers will always be a strong advocate for business,
and fight for your rights regarding the promotion and
enhancement of a strong business environment.
On this front, your Chamber was instrumental in having
its latest resolution endorsed and accepted for lobbying
by the OCC policy makers. This resolution strengthens
an earlier policy resolution to get more people working
province-wide in skilled trades by eliminating hurdles
along the way.
The Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce wishes to
thank the Prince Edward County Chamber of Commerce
and Kelly Pritchard at the OCC for their assistance and
governance respectfully for seeing that this resolution
passed.
Full details on all resolutions adopted at the AGM are
here: http://occ.on.ca/wp-

Pitch In Kingston 2010 a “collective”
success!
On April 29th, over 3 metric tons of garbage was
ceremoniously collected, bagged and subsequently
picked up to wrap up another highlight in our efforts to
keep our region clean. Pitch-In Kingston is part of a
larger nationwide PITCH-IN CANADA endeavour to clean
up and rejuvenate local neighbourhoods, green spaces,
ravines and waterways to maintain the quality of life in
our communities.
Pitch-In Day 2011 was once again organized and carried
out by a gracious group of selfless volunteers and our
fantastic presenting sponsor, Tim Horton’s in Kingston.
This year marked the third consecutive time whereby
City-wide Tim Horton’s agreed to allow volunteers to
distribute Pitch In bags and good cheer at their
locations. The Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce
once again helped to strategize and organize the efforts
with the City of Kingston and Tim Horton’s for a 10th
straight year. Huge thanks go out to Sherri Agnew and
Leanne O’Mara of Agnew Foods Ltd. who helped
spearhead the effort with Tim Horton’s.
The overall day would never have run so smoothly
without the leadership of Rose Giugovaz and her Pitch-
In Kingston committee of volunteers and organizers.
The City of Kingston picked up the majority of garbage
and provided solid advice and assistance leading up to
Pitch-In Day.
Close to 8000 volunteers registered to clean up a
designated area in the City along with hundreds more
who pitched in to clean up their own neighbourhood or
park.

Chamber Network Talks Engagement
At the 99th Annual General Meeting and
Convention in Toronto, the Chamber Network came
together to discuss how to increase engagement in
the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) advocacy
process and improve communications.
The session was led by Kelly Pritchard, OCC Policy
Analyst and Jody Lundrigan, OCC Manager of Media
and Communications, who were joined by John
Laderoute of the Greater Sudbury Chamber of
Commerce and Jason E. Mandlowitz of Hicks-
Morley. The group highlighted the key features of
the OCC advocacy process through walking
delegates through the recent campaign on the
Workplace Safety and Insurance Board.
With the policy process outlined, the floor was
opened to feedback from chambers, boards and
corporate members from across Ontario. Dialogue
surrounded potential methods for getting
chambers involved in advocacy and the use of a
multitude of communication tools. This feedback
was much appreciated. To keep this dialogue
going, the OCC is developing a consultation
process for the continuous evaluation of its
communications. To begin, OCC has developed
questions surrounding network engagement, which were
presented at the AGM session. Members are
encouraged to answers these questions and send
feedback to jodylundrigan@occ.on.ca. Some of our
main communications activities include:
• Member Bulletins
• Twitter
• YouTube Channel
• LinkedIn Account
**The Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce is at the
forefront of these activities, and has been rolling out more
communication tools over the past 12 months. We currently
have our own Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Youtube
platforms. See us on the web today!
