Chamber Advocating for Business Confidence Amid Uncertainty
The business landscape continues to evolve amidst ongoing economic and political disruption. Just as business was adapting to a “new normal,” it is now confronted with fresh challenges— uncertain trade relations, regulatory barriers, and shifting economic policies. However, with challenge comes opportunity, and the Chamber remains steadfast in its role as a critical partner in economic development.
At the Chamber’s recent Canada-US Trade: Challenges and Opportunities event, presented by BDO Canada LLP, the panelists underscored the need for proactive measures to strengthen Canada’s position in global trade. Internal trade barriers and excessive red tape must be dismantled to ensure businesses can thrive. Canada possesses vast supplies of the “three F’s”—food, fuel, and fertilizer—as well as critical minerals essential to economic security and the transition to a greener future. To leverage these resources effectively, we must invest in essential infrastructure: roads, airports, rail networks, pipelines, and high-speed internet for rural and Indigenous communities.
Investors and businesses of all sizes need a clear, efficient regulatory framework that provides predictability, timeliness, and fact-based decisionmaking. Uncertainty and policy inconsistency undermine confidence and hinder growth. Business leaders across industries are urging policymakers to streamline approvals and eliminate unnecessary delays that stall investment and expansion. The Chamber is working closely with the Economic Development
departments of both the City of Brantford and the County of Brant through collaboration and sharing resources, we aim to support businesses in our region through this period of uncertainty. Our goal is to create a business environment that fosters investment, growth, and longterm sustainability for business in all sectors.
To stay informed and engaged, we
encourage members to follow the Chamber’s weekly e-new, social media channels, and our dedicated tariff resource page.
Our community has demonstrated resilience and creativity time and time again, overcoming challenges with determination and ingenuity. This is yet another opportunity for businesses, government, and community leaders to work together, harnessing our natural, human, and business resources to navigate uncertainty and build a stronger economic future.
For those wondering about the value of a Chamber of Commerce membership, consider this: a direct line exists between a phone call, an email, or attendance at a Chamber event and key decision-makers at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels. Through our advocacy efforts with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, our members have a voice at cabinet tables where crucial economic policies are shaped.
Now, more than ever, Chamber membership matters!

Nonprofit Spotlight Brant County SPCA
Nala’s Journey Inspires Hope at Brant County
SPCA
The Brant County SPCA is proud to serve the animals in our community and beyond with compassion, dedication, and exceptional care. At the heart of their mission is the human-animal bond, which drives everything they do. Each day brings new challenges, but they continually rise to meet them with resilience, heart, and hope.
Through the Moving Hearts program, the Brant County SPCA recently welcomed a sweet girl named Nala. What no one knew at the time was that Nala had a little secret; she was going to be a mother. On April 1st, Nala played the ultimate April Fool’s on staff,
Thanks to the ongoing support of generous donors and dedicated volunteers, the Brant County SPCA was able to respond swiftly. It’s the kindness of our community that ensures dogs like Nala—and her dozen pups—
receive immediate, quality care. Fosters stepped forward to open their homes and hearts, giving this little family the space and attention they need. Meanwhile, donations help cover the costs of medical care, food, and all the resources that go into raising a litter of puppies.
Today, Nala and her pups are thriving in a loving foster home where they can grow stronger each day. Nala is getting the rest and support she needs to be a great mom, and her puppies are starting their journey in safety and comfort.
Life at the Brant County SPCA is unpredictable, but with our community by their side, they can be ready for what each new day brings. Your support truly makes a difference in the lives of animals who need it most. Thank you for helping make happy endings like Nala’s possible. I
Advocacy
Chamber Drives Policy Change and Business Voice Across
All Levels of Government
The current political and economic environment is dynamic and unprecedented— perhaps a significant understatement. The need for a non-partisan, objective, and trusted voice championing the needs of the business community is more important than ever before. Your investment in the Chamber—through your membership, your participation at events, your sponsorships, and your communications—continues to strengthen our collective voice during these times of uncertainty.
The Advocacy Committee has been hard at work in the first quarter of 2025. With two elections, three events, two delegations to Brantford City Council, and two policy resolutions at
the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) AGM and Policy Convention in April, your voice is being heard at every level of government. At the provincial televised debate and fireside chats in February, and the federal debate in April, the Chamber ensured your business priorities were raised directly with candidates as identified by the Committee.
At the MP’s Breakfast in February, Advocacy Committee members posed questions directly to the MP, and were proud to welcome student leaders from Laurier Brantford, Conestoga College, and Six Nations Polytechnic— the event sponsors—for an engaging and thoughtful discussion.
In March, the Chamber delegation to City Council offered support for initiatives to support the City’s tariff response and drive economic growth including updating the Procurement Policy and the Greyfield and Downtown Community Improvement Plans. The Chamber also supported the re-establishment of the Town and Gown Committee to improve studentcommunity collaboration.
April’s Brantford 2050 Mayor’s
Breakfast and Panel Discussion saw a robust discussion, engagement, and front page coverage of key transportation and housing priorities. A highlight of the OCC AGM was the celebration of 49 advocacy wins in 2024, spanning housing development, clean energy, skilled trades, and red tape reduction, and the consideration of 37 new policy resolutions.
Returning to the tariff response, a key priority for the Chamber Network took a major step forward this spring with, “Protecting Ontario Through Free Trade Within Canada Act” as the first bill tabled in the Ontario Legislature in April. This legislation is a direct result of decades of advocacy from local chambers through the OCC.
“This is a bold step toward a more unified Canadian economy,” said Daniel Tisch, OCC President and CEO. “With this legislation, Ontario is leading by example, tearing down outdated trade barriers, and expanding labour mobility.”
Please reach out to the Chamber to learn more about how you can voice your ideas for improvement and change. I

CRA Review Requests and Potential Cost of Non-Compliance
The 2024 personal tax season did not go off without a hitch. Many of us experienced delays in receiving our income tax reporting slips and with CRA’s changes to its validation process (to improve data accuracy), many financial institutions experienced issues submitting their reporting slips to CRA, resulting in your tax slips not being available on your CRA MyAccount or Represent a Client for download, or in some cases duplicate slips appearing.
Now that most of us have filed our 2024 personal income tax returns, we can breathe a sigh of relief – or can we?With many of your tax slips not processed or appearing in your MyAccount, CRA’s algorithms are already busy generating requests for support to taxpayers either in advance of CRA completing processing your 2024 assessment, or to support amounts reported and assessed. CRA requests give taxpayers 30 days to respond or to request additional time to respond. Some of the requests we have seen already relate to RRSP contribution support, capital gains exemptions, prior year GST/HST rebate income, in addition to the usual charitable donation and medical expense reviews.
Last July, we wrote about CRA’s new Notice of Non-Compliance that
was introduced in the 2024 budget. Failure to respond to CRAs request for information or documents could result in the following:
Reassessment Period. If a taxpayer receives a Notice of Non-Compliance, the normal 3 year reassessment period is extended based on the period of time in which the taxpayer has complied with each item included in the Notice of NonCompliance.
• Penalties. Under this new proposal, CRA will have the ability to impose penalties of $50 for each day the Notice of Non-Compliance is outstanding up to a maximum of $25,000.
With the potential Canada Post strike this May and CRAs continued push to online mail communication the
risk that taxpayers may not respond to these requests in the 30 day time period allotted has increased significantly. We strongly recommend that you open all mail received from CRA in a timely fashion, and that taxpayers with a CRA MyAccount periodically log on to see if any there are any Review letters in their “Mail” section.
If you have questions regarding any correspondence from CRA, please ensure you reach out to an accountant for advice.

Cracking the Glass Ceiling: Women Transform Brantford’s Trades Sector
ABy Sathya Suresh
mid the hum of tools and machinery, women in Brantford’s skilled trades sector are leading a quiet revolution. They are breaking through glass ceilings and reshaping industries that were once dominated by men.
As Canada faces a growing shortage of skilled workers, local groups are stepping up to inspire the next generation of tradespeople. Women are at the forefront of this movement, tearing down barriers, defying expectations, and proving that the trades are for anyone with the passion and dedication to succeed.
with the City of Brantford. “It’s about creating pathways and showing young people, especially women, that they belong in these roles too.”
Kursikowski drives the launch of the Brantford chapter of Women on Site, a grassroots initiative that provides mentorship and fosters connections among tradeswomen. The group’s first meeting drew 19 attendees, including HR representatives from local manufacturers eager to make a difference.
“We had 19 people at that first meeting,” Kursikowski said. “It shows there’s a hunger for connection and a thirst for change. The interest is there, and the energy is palpable.”
“The goal is to create a community where women can not only thrive but also inspire others to step into this world, showing them that this is a path they can walk with confidence.”
Conestoga College is opening doors for women in trades through innovative programming. The Women in Skilled Trades program offers a tuition-free pre-apprenticeship in carpentry and residential installations. Funded by the province, the program has helped many women transition into HVAC, plumbing, and other skilled trades. Many return to mentor the next generation, ensuring the cycle of support continues.
“It’s not just about finding skilled workers,” said Stacey Kursikowski, an economic
development
officer
Women on Site is now spreading its roots across Ontario, and Brantford’s chapter meets monthly, offering tradeswomen a vital space to network, share stories, and lift each other.
“We’ve built an open, authentic, and supportive space,” Kursikowski said.
“There are endless opportunities for women willing to put in the work,” said Joni Jean, a program representative. “But once we get women in the door, we must ensure they feel supported and empowered, especially if they’re the only woman in the room.”

Shareholder Agreements
Shareholder agreements are important for setting rules and making decisions among shareholders in a company. These agreements are customized to fit the specific needs of the shareholders and cover many topics like voting rules, management control, share transfers, and how to solve disputes. A typical shareholder agreement includes details about the number of shares each shareholder has, what the company does, how it will be financed, how profits will be shared, and who makes decisions. It also covers how disputes will be resolved, rights to appoint directors, meeting rules, auditor appointments, restrictions on transferring shares, admitting new shareholders, and rules for major decisions.
In Canada, shareholder agreements are recognized by laws like the Ontario Business Corporations Act (OBCA) and the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA). These laws allow shareholders to take on some decision-making powers usually held by directors. The main goals of shareholder agreements are to set basic rights and duties, plan for future events, provide flexibility for unexpected situations, protect minority shareholders, and encourage solving disputes together. These agreements are especially useful when shareholders have equal votes or no single shareholder has a majority, as they help resolve deadlocks and require specific approvals.
A unanimous shareholder agreement can limit the powers of directors, transferring their responsibilities and liabilities to shareholders. This is effective for control, especially in private companies with few shareholders. The laws ensure that shareholders who sign a unanimous shareholder agreement have the same rights and duties as directors, making the agreement enforceable. Share transfer rules are also contemplated in these agreements with common rules providing a shareholder the first chance to buy shares before they are offered to outsiders, matching a thirdparty offer, selling shares alongside majority shareholders, or forcing minority shareholders to sell their shares to a third party.
Dispute resolution methods in shareholder agreements include discussions, mediation, arbitration, and selling the business. These methods help solve disputes quickly and keep the business running smoothly. The agreement should have a step-by-step process for resolving disputes to avoid using multiple methods at once. Exit rules allow shareholders to leave the company under certain conditions, like death, incapacity, bankruptcy, or breaking the agreement. Common exit options include put/call options,
dissolving the company, and shotgun clauses.
A well drafted shareholder agreement that provides a strong framework for decision-making, dispute resolution and the transfer of shares is an essential tool for managing corporate governance and relationships among each shareholder. However, shareholder agreements are not static and should be reviewed and updated regularly as a corporation grows or evolves to ensure the provisions originally contemplated do not become restrictive, ineffective or burdensome. A review of your shareholder agreement should take place annually or at such times where there is a material change in your corporation and the business it operates. If you require any assistance with reviewing, drafting, or updating a shareholder agreement for your corporation, the lawyers at Waterous Holden Amey Hitchon LLP have the knowledge and expertise to address your needs.

Cracking the Glass Ceiling: Women Transform Brantford’s Trades Sector
< Continued from Page 16
Mentorship is key at Conestoga College, starting from the first campus visit and continuing throughout a student’s career. “It’s beautiful when former students come back to lead workshops or offer guidance,” Jean said. “It’s a full-circle experience that allows those who once received mentorship to pass it forward.”
The college is addressing one of the most significant barriers women face in trades: ill-fitting personal protective equipment (PPE). In partnership with the Canadian Institute for Safety, Wellness, and Performance, Conestoga is updating body measurement data to improve PPE design and ensure it fits all body types, especially women. The initiative helps women feel safe, supported, and comfortable in environments where they are still adjusting to their needs.
“There’s that saying, ‘you need to see it to be it,’” Jean added. “For women of colour especially, seeing someone who looks like them succeed in the trades shows them that they, too, can break down the barriers and achieve success in this field.”
Efforts to break down barriers for women in trades are transforming Brantford’s workforce. The trades sector is embracing diversity as it responds to growing industry demands.
In Brantford-Brant, women are taking the lead, breaking barriers and reshaping the industry. It’s not just about filling jobs anymore; it’s about breaking through glass ceilings, making the sector more inclusive, dynamic, and ready for the future.

Powerline Safety – Prevent a Deadly Shock to Your Business by Keeping Employees Informed
Patrick Falzon Powerline Specialist, Electrical Safety Authority
The Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) is one of our valued partners and is the leading voice on electrical safety education in Ontario. The organization is committed to help keep Ontarians safe from electrical harm – overhead and underground powerlines are one of the most serious threats someone can face on the job. We asked ESA Powerline Specialist Patrick Falzon about the dangers employees face and precautions that businesses must take to keep their employees safe.
What are the hazards for employees who perform work around powerlines?
Workers and their high-reach tools, including cranes, dump trucks, elevated platforms, and ladders, can make contact with powerlines if the proper precautions are not taken. Employees could suffer arc flash burns, mild to severe electrical shocks, or even death. You don’t have to make a direct contact to receive an electrical shock as electricity can jump, or “arc,” to a person or their tools if they get too close. This is a fact that, unfortunately, almost 40% of construction workers don’t know, according to a study by the ESA.
Avoid the risk by always staying three metres away from overhead powerlines and 10 metres away from downed powerlines
Has your contact information changed?
We need to know!
If your phone number, cell number or email address has changed, don’t forget to update your GrandBridge Energy account. We need this important information to contact you about planned power outages or other urgent service updates.
Choose one of three ways to share your
Please include your account number and service address when
How can a business identify or mark where powerlines are located?
Locating all powerlines, both overhead and underground, is a necessary step before any work begins. To mark overhead powerlines, a business can post signs as a reminder of their location or contact GrandBridge Energy to have them place flags on the lines. When requested, GrandBridge Energy can put orange coverups on the lines to identify the location. Underground powerlines must also be located. Connect with OntarioOneCall. ca to request identify all utility- owned underground infrastructure. It is the law in Ontario!
What kind of powerlines could employees encounter and how do they vary in power?
There is no way to determine the voltage of an overhead powerline just by looking at it. Typical distribution voltages in Ontario range from as low as 120-240 volts (secondary voltage)
for residential services, all the way up 69,000 volts (primary voltage) on utility poles. Transmission lines on large towers, range from 150,000 volts to 500,000 volts. Contact GrandBridge Energy to determine the voltage.
What powerline safety precautions are essential?
1. Locate all overhead and underground powerlines before starting any work.
2. Make sure to identify all the hazards and post signage around work sites to remind workers of the safe limits of approach near powerlines.
3. The use of a dedicated signaler with a clear view of powerlines and equipment will provide an additional safety.
4. Contact GrandBridge Energy in advance at 1-877-871-2215. They can provide safety options such as turning off the power or temporarily relocating powerlines.

How the Chamber is Shaping the Future for Young Professionals
This month’s issue of In Touch has a focus on youth and explores how the professional landscape is much different for the generation now entering the workforce.
One of the first things I hear chatting with young professionals early in their careers is that building that career, making connections, and getting involved in their communities are tasks that are a little more daunting than they used to be.
The Chamber is evolving and we don’t ever want to stop growing and learning. Thanks to the hard work of our members, we’re consistently adding new events, new programs, and new advocacy strategies.
We’re listening, too. The voices of young professionals are influencing how we design our offerings. Whether it’s casual after-hours networking, mentorship programs, or training opportunities tailored to today’s needs. We know that professional development doesn’t look the same as it did even five years ago, and we’re committed to keeping up with that change. It’s about relevance, accessibility, and creating spaces where everyone feels welcome. We’re focused on removing barriers and making it easier for emerging leaders to engage, contribute, and thrive within the business community.
Whether young professionals are trying to build their networks, build leadership experience, or just be seen by people who can open doors, the Chamber is proud to always be
striving to be the best vehicle to meet those goals. Volunteer opportunities, networking, and access to local business leaders are just the tip of the iceberg, and the Chamber wants to continue to innovate.
We’re also seeing more and more young professionals stepping up. Not just to participate, but to lead. They’re joining boards, chairing committees, and shaping the direction of our business community in meaningful ways. That kind of engagement doesn’t just benefit them,it brings fresh ideas and energy into everything we do.
To the business leaders reading this: get your young people involved. Promote Chamber membership, encourage them to go to events, let them sit on a committee. It’s one of the best professional development investments you can make. When they feel connected to the community, they show up differently at work, too.
The Chamber is excited to continue to strive to be a launchpad for the next generation of leaders, thanks to the hard work and dedication our members show every day.
