With nearly 30 years of community leadership, the Minto Chamber of Commerce is a driving force for business supports in Minto.
The Minto Chamber is led by a volunteer board of directors who are also business owners and members – a distinctive feature that brings unique perspectives and creativity to its programs and initiatives.
For $190/year, Chamber members have exclusive access to special promotional and recognition offers, subsidized advertising opportunities and reduced pricing on training and event registration.
“We moved our business from Picton in 2020. Town of Minto staff helped us find a place for our business and a place to live as well. The support and friendliness of the economic development department and Chamber of Commerce made a huge impact in helping us join the community.”
