Just one week to go!

I am so excited to be bringing back Wellness Wednesdays in Palmer Park for our second summer of community wellness, connection, and self-care.

Starting June 17, join me every Wednesday from 9:30–10:30 a.m. in beautiful Palmer Park for a free, welcoming space to slow down, breathe, move your body, and reconnect with yourself and others.

Whether you come every week or drop in when you can, you are welcome exactly as you are.

This year, we are also offering free childcare throughout July and August, making it even easier for parents and caregivers to take an hour for themselves.

Over the past year, I have been continually reminded that healing and wellness do not always happen in an office. Sometimes they happen in community, by the water, under the trees, sharing space with others who simply understand the importance of taking care of themselves.

I cannot wait to see familiar faces and welcome new ones.

One week to go!
📍 Palmer Park, Port Perry
🗓 Wednesdays, June 17 – September 16
⏰ 9:30–10:30 a.m.
💚 Free and open to everyone

Guided by your compass. Grounded in connection. Navigating life’s challenges together.

📈 Market ups and downs can make even the calmest investor feel a little uneasy.

When the markets get rocky, the instinct to pull back can be strong — but history has shown us that staying invested and keeping a long-term perspective can often make all the difference.

In this blog, BGIP - Brian Gribben Insurance Planning inc and the BGIP team break down why market timing can be risky, how compounding works in your favour, and why sticking to a solid financial plan matters during volatile times. 💡

✅ Long-term gains
✅ Avoiding missed opportunities
✅ Managing risk
✅ Staying focused on your financial goals

If market volatility has you second-guessing your investment strategy, this is a great read.

Please join us in giving the warmest North Durham Chamber welcome to North House! 🏡💛

North House is one of those organizations that reminds us what community is really all about.

They support individuals and families across north Durham who are facing poverty, homelessness, housing instability, and those hard life moments where people need more than just advice… they need real support, real resources, and real humans who care.

From helping people access affordable housing, replace ID, complete income taxes, and connect with critical services, North House is doing the heart work that makes our communities stronger. 👏

We are SO proud to welcome North House to the Chamber family and to help shine a light on the incredible impact they are making right here in Uxbridge, Scugog, Brock, and across north Durham.

Welcome to the Chamber, North House! We are so happy to have you here. 💛

Learn more about their work and how you can support them at northhouse.ca

The Sunday Planning post is here to lovingly cow-hook you out from behind that computer. 😂🐄

Because yes, business is busy.
Yes, the inbox is always full.
Yes, there is always “one more thing” to do.

But the strongest businesses are not built in isolation.

They are built through real conversations, face-to-face connections, shared rooms, local referrals, community support, and actually getting out there. 🤝✨

And clearly… our North Durham business community understands the assignment because the North Durham Chamber was officially named the Fastest Growing Small Chamber in Canada!!! 🇨🇦🎉

By a LANDSLIDE.

That is because of YOU.
Our members.
Our business owners.
Our community builders.
The people who show up, connect, support, refer, cheer, and keep North Durham moving forward.

So now… let’s keep showing up. 👇

Folks, this is not your regular Coffee & Convos. ❤️🌺

This one is going to be special.

Because yes, we are going to network.
Yes, we are going to drink coffee.
Yes, we are going to make new business connections.

But we are also going to help create something meaningful that will live in our community for years to come.

At our next Coffee & Convo Poppy, everyone who attends will help pin crocheted poppies onto the poppy netting that will later be beautifully displayed around the Scugog Township cenotaph and the Vimy bench for Remembrance Day 2026.

There are already more than 7,000 crocheted poppies waiting to be attached, and this is our chance

to come together as a business community, have real conversations, and be part of a heartfelt tribute of remembrance. 🌺

So let’s network, pin poppies, and build some lasting memories together.

Thrilled to be invited to BGIP - Brian Gribben Insurance Planning inc Summer Spectacular Fundriser Banquet for Port Perry Hospital!

They are a super philanthropic Premier Member and have raised upwards of $200k for the Port Perry Hospital in the last few years.

This time, the funds raised from generous donors are going towards a new incubator so the littlest of patients can be treated with the love and care they need.

I know firsthand the generousity of our Chamber members which means I know Port Perry Hospital Foundation will reach their goals and more.
