Copy of 2026 (Facebook Post)

Big Challenges - New Opportunities - Local Leadership

Join us September 24 for an insightful day featuring expert speakers on some of the biggest issues facing our community ahead of the municipal election.

Learn about economic opportunities in AI and critical minerals, learn how some communities are making progress in addressing housing challenges, and explore how educators and employers can work together toward workforce development.

The day will also feature an opportunity to hear from Orillia's Mayoral candidates in a fireside chat, and a chance to meet municipal council candidates.

Please note that the candidate meet-and-greet from 2:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. is for Chamber members only. This is a chance for our members to ask candidates about the issues most important to them and their businesses.
