The manager of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce says 2021 will be a year that will include COVID-19, but hopefully a year of growth as well.
Suzanne Andrews talked to Quinte News about the year ahead, and says technology will be a focus in the next 12 months.
“It was a catalyst for a lot of small businesses to get more digital. I think that it is something that has been around for the last couple of years. The government has funded this because they knew that we had to encourage small businesses to get more digital to get online, make sure they had websites and the software needed to survive and compete.”

COVID-19 has hit every sector of life, and businesses were especially vulnerable.
As we continue to look back at 2020, we check in with the Executive Director of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber Manager Suzanne Andrews says certain sectors have done better than others.
“The thing is with this pandemic is that is has not affected all businesses the same. Sometimes it is not necessarily the size of the business, but the type of sector that they are in. Here in Quinte West most of our larger businesses and larger employers are manufacturers and they seem to have done pretty good through this. “
