The Peterborough & the Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce is proud to support our local businesses at all times through our #LoveLocalPtboKawarthas campaign and this support is even more important during COVID-19.  

CAMPAIGN

The purpose of the yearly #LoveLocalPtboKawarthas campaign is simple - we want to celebrate and support businesses and organizations operating in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Our local businesses create jobs, support local charities, and contribute to the unique nature of our community.  In Peterborough, the business community represents about 30% of the tax bill.  This is tens of millions of dollars that goes directly back into our community!

The 2022 #LoveLocalPtboKawarthas Campaign is now underway
These banners (right) featuring 46 member business logos will be placed at every chamber event throughout the year. Members attending the events put their business card in the fishbowl (or facsimile thereof) and a draw for $1000 to spend at any or all campaign sponsors happens at the December PBX. 

If you are one of sponsors don't forget to connect with us to book your 60-120 second video profile highlighting YOUR business!
Contact Tiffany Arcari for details
705-748-9771 ext 200 | tiffany@peterboroughchamber.ca


It's also a Social Media campaign: The community is encouraged to use the #LoveLocalPtboKawarthas to highlight their positive consumer experiences.   
  • 96% of member businesses are considered small business (0-99 employees)
  • 53% of member businesses would be considered micro businesses (up to 5 employees)
  • These businesses can be found across all industry sectors from accommodations to retail to restaurants to start-ups to health care and more
  • The businesses contribute mightily to the local economy and community through charitable donations, taxes, and employment opportunities
