Business Unusual

The Pictou County Chamber of Commerce, with the support of several community based organizations, will present a special ONLINE event called “Business Unusual” celebrating those individuals and organizations who stood out during the initial wave of the pandemic. Not much about 2020 was normal. We all felt the changes in our lives. The Pictou County Chamber of Commerce felt it as well. So they decided it wasn’t the year to do their regular Chamber Awards evening. Instead, they decided it was about shining a light on those who have made such a huge difference to our community and beyond. We all stepped forward, supported where we could – and the honourees are a group they want to highlight, to show how we all continue to shine on, now more than ever. The PC Chamber invite you, your colleagues, and members of the community to celebrate our fellow community members online on January 28th, beginning at 7pm. Through the Advocate Group of companies, this live-stream is available free-of-charge so we encourage you to share the information with family, friends and neighbours. Be sure to reserve your free tickets for the livestream below! There is a limited amount available. Register
