The Strathroy and District Chamber of Commerce has a new President and that is Mike Jacques who will fill the role for the next two years. Jacques has been a part of the Chamber for the last 4-5 years, spending time as the honorary treasurer, the Vice President, and now President. He says he got involved with the chamber initially just because he likes getting involved in the community. He was then elected to the board, something he says was an honour.
Jacques says that one of his goals and things he’s looking forward to as President is getting in-person events started back up again.
Jacques says that for the Chamber, like everyone else at the start of the pandemic, things felt uncertain, but they were able to still help out businesses, by doing things like shop local campaigns and supplying rapid tests to their members.
