Grand Opening: Poplar Trails Model Home by Sunvale Homes
Mayor & Council Business Breakfast
Canada in 2030 Lunch Workshop

It was a packed room of local business leaders at our recent professional development workshop, Canada in 2030, an analytic forecast of the Canadian economy in the next five years and beyond.
Mike D’Abramo from Sklar Wilton & Associates shed light on the big-picture trends in Canadian demographics, consumer habits and business models that small businesses can anticipate to stay one step ahead in a changing marketplace. He then offered some regional insights and considerations, specific to the Blue Mountains business community and relevant to everyone in the room — no easy feat with an audience that included realtors, farmers, restauranteurs, shop owners, not-for-profit groups, media outlets, landscapers, an esthetician, an electrician, a cheesemonger, a Town Councillor and a wedding officiant. Thanks so much for sharing your time and talent, Mike, and for sparking such an engaging, timely conversation.
A huge thank you to the team at Bruce Wine Bar for providing such spectacular food and service, to BMCC Board member Casey Thomson for being our MC, and to Julie Card at MYCOLLINGOOD.CA for the wonderful photos of the event.
Finally, thanks to everyone who took the time to be there and participate — what a great afternoon! Stay tuned for details about our next workshop, coming up in November.
