President’s Communiqué<br />

Hello fellow members!<br />

With the success <strong>of</strong> the<br />

volunteer recognition<br />

breakfast in April, we<br />

wish to thank again all<br />

those volunteers who<br />

contribute their time and<br />

talent to the chamber.<br />

We especially thank<br />

those who contribute on<br />

our many committees<br />

and on our board <strong>of</strong><br />

directors. Without these<br />

volunteers, we would<br />

not be where we are as a<br />

chamber. My thanks<br />

again.<br />

The Township <strong>of</strong> Smith<br />

Ennismore Lakefield is<br />

preparing to redo the<br />

road and the parking lot<br />

in front <strong>of</strong> and adjacent<br />

to our license bureau.<br />

Please be aware <strong>of</strong> some<br />

inconvenience this<br />

summer. However, we<br />

will end up with newly<br />

paved parking lots,<br />

curbs, gutters, and a<br />

newly paved road when<br />

all is completed.<br />

As indicated in our last<br />

Annual General<br />

Meeting, the chamber is<br />

embarking on a new<br />

strategic plan for the<br />

next five years. We<br />

intend to form a task<br />

force to assist us in this<br />

visioning process. If<br />

you would like to be on<br />

this task force, please<br />

contact the chamber<br />

<strong>of</strong>fice at 652-6963 or<br />

myself at 652-1100. We<br />

intend to hire a<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional facilitator<br />

and we will begin our<br />

work on this task in<br />

September. We expect<br />

to complete this process<br />

and deliver a new five<br />

year strategic plan at the<br />

next annual general<br />

meeting in February<br />

2011.<br />

Those <strong>of</strong> you who have<br />

traveled in the northern<br />

area <strong>of</strong> our influence will<br />

note that our Apsley<br />

<strong>of</strong>fice has been relocated<br />

to downtown Apsley.<br />

The <strong>of</strong>fice is now in the<br />

building occupied by<br />

Royal Lepage Frank Real<br />

Estate. With this<br />

location, we will have a<br />

year round presence in<br />

Apsley. We intend to<br />

staff this <strong>of</strong>fice for<br />

approximately 3 months,<br />

with the balance <strong>of</strong> the<br />

year being accessible<br />

through Royal Lepage<br />

Frank Real Estate. We<br />

thank the <strong>of</strong>fices <strong>of</strong><br />

Crawford Building<br />

Consultants for the<br />

moving arrangements<br />

and the two workers<br />

arranged by the real<br />

estate <strong>of</strong>fice who<br />

contributed the labour<br />

to move furniture and<br />

boxes.<br />

There are still<br />

opportunities available<br />

to become a member <strong>of</strong><br />

our board <strong>of</strong> directors.<br />

This is a unique<br />

opportunity where you<br />

can join other likeminded<br />

and talented<br />

small business owners to<br />

help provide viable<br />

management to our<br />

chamber. It also<br />

provides an opportunity<br />

to network with your<br />

peers and get your name<br />

out into the community.<br />

We need two more<br />

directors to provide<br />

sufficient services to our<br />

members. If you are<br />

interested, please contact<br />

the chamber <strong>of</strong>fice or<br />

myself.<br />

Robyn Trew<br />

Lakefield Summer Student<br />

Hi Folks! My name is Robyn<br />

Trew, and I am one <strong>of</strong> the two new<br />

additions to the <strong>East</strong> <strong>Kawartha</strong><br />

<strong>Chamber</strong> team as the Special Events<br />

& Tourism Coordinator summer<br />

student, here in the Lakefield Office.<br />

Growing up in the small town <strong>of</strong><br />

Hillsdale, just north <strong>of</strong> Barrie, allowed<br />

me to make the easy transition into<br />

the <strong>East</strong>ern <strong>Kawartha</strong> Lakes Region,<br />

settling in Peterborough for the past<br />

four years as I completed my<br />

Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts Honours Degree in<br />

International Development and<br />

Political Studies at Trent University.<br />

This fall, I will be continuing my<br />

education at Centennial College’s<br />

Centre for Creative Communications<br />

for a post-graduate diploma in<br />

Advertising Account Management.<br />

I am looking forward to getting<br />

the chance to meet each <strong>of</strong> you and<br />

providing referrals and information<br />

on what the <strong>Kawartha</strong> Lakes has to<br />

<strong>of</strong>fer. I cannot wait for the summer<br />

season to get into full swing, and<br />

would love for you to stop by and say<br />

hello to us here underneath the clocktower<br />

whenever you are in town.<br />

Enjoy your summer!<br />

Caroline Sadlier<br />

Apsley Summer Student<br />

Hello everyone! My name is<br />

Caroline Sadlier and I am the other<br />

new summer student at the <strong>East</strong><br />

<strong>Kawartha</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong>. I<br />

will be spending most <strong>of</strong> my time in<br />

Lakefield until the end <strong>of</strong> <strong>June</strong>. In<br />

July and August I will be in our newly<br />

relocated downtown Apsley <strong>of</strong>fice. I<br />

am very excited to open and be ready<br />

for the public at the end <strong>of</strong> this<br />

month.<br />

I was born and raised in the <strong>East</strong><br />

<strong>Kawartha</strong> Lakes area. I attended<br />

Ridpath Public School and then<br />

Lakefield High School. Upon<br />

graduating, I chose to study at<br />

Laurentian University in Sudbury.<br />

Having completed my second year <strong>of</strong><br />

a Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science Degree,<br />

majoring in Zoology, I will be<br />

heading to the University <strong>of</strong><br />

Helsinki, Finland in the fall for a year.<br />

I am a firm believer in travel and<br />

the discovery <strong>of</strong> new places and<br />

people. However, I am equally happy<br />

to be home. I enjoy the forests and<br />

lakes <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Kawartha</strong> Lakes region<br />

and am looking forward to spending<br />

my summer in this area. Please feel<br />

free to drop by and check out our<br />

new Apsley <strong>of</strong>fice at 135 Burleigh St .<br />

Deb Dzurko <strong>of</strong><br />

Business Development<br />

Bank <strong>of</strong> Canada<br />

Director<br />

My husband Steve and I<br />

relocated to Ennismore from Aurora<br />

almost 22 years ago with our two<br />

children, Mark and Christen and have<br />

made this a place we are proud to call<br />

“home”. I began my career in<br />

banking with this move and joined<br />

RBC. Through various positions and<br />

roles within the organization, I very<br />

quickly learned that I could make a<br />

difference working with<br />

entrepreneurs and this is where my<br />

career took another turn. I joined the<br />

Business Development Bank (BDC)<br />

last year. I am responsible for<br />

commercial financing and consulting<br />

throughout the area and enjoy<br />

working with entrepreneurs to help<br />

them achieve their goals.<br />

I have also enjoyed community<br />

involvement for 7 years with Big<br />

Brothers/Big Sisters and their inschool<br />

mentoring program. I<br />

currently sit on the panel <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Research Alliance Group for<br />

Peterborough and Durham which is<br />

an alliance between organizations and<br />

angel investors who’s goal is to link<br />

emerging technology and businesses<br />

to resource providers with the<br />

ultimate goal <strong>of</strong> driving job creation,<br />

revenue growth, and social benefits in<br />

our local communities. Most recently<br />

I spent the past 2 years as Chair <strong>of</strong><br />

the fundraising committee for the<br />

<strong>2010</strong> Canada Wide Science Fair<br />

which was recently held in<br />

Peterborough. I have been a member<br />

<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Chamber</strong> for a number <strong>of</strong><br />

years and look forward to my new<br />

role on the Board.

Benefit Facts by Brian Bulger - Group Insurance Plan Representative<br />

You Can’t Buy Happiness… But Maybe You Can Teach It!<br />

If your employees aren't<br />

happy with your firm's<br />

benefit plan, maybe you<br />

should tell them more about<br />

it. In a recent national<br />

survey, employee<br />

satisfaction with group<br />

benefits was highest among<br />

people who said they<br />

understand their coverage.<br />

But good employee<br />

communication doesn't<br />

mean a steady stream <strong>of</strong><br />

details. Instead, a few key<br />

points can give your plan's<br />

participants the most<br />

effective foundation.<br />

* Employees should know<br />

how much they each<br />

contribute to the cost <strong>of</strong><br />

coverage - and they should<br />

pay a portion <strong>of</strong> it.<br />

Participation makes<br />

employees better consumers.<br />

And if your plan includes<br />

disability coverage,<br />

remember there are tax<br />

advantages to employees if<br />

they pay all <strong>of</strong> this premium<br />

for this benefit.<br />

* While your employees will<br />

receive Benefit Booklets<br />

detailing the coverages they<br />

have, it's a good idea to walk<br />

them through an overview<br />

<strong>of</strong> the program. If they<br />

broadly know the kinds <strong>of</strong><br />

coverage they have without<br />

looking them up, they'll<br />

know when to contact the<br />

plan's insurer to submit a<br />

claim.<br />

* If at all possible, your<br />

employees should have<br />

direct access to your agent<br />

and insurer, preferably by<br />

local and toll free telephone<br />

numbers and the internet.<br />

With easy access to the<br />

experts who provide your<br />

coverage, employees and<br />

their family members can<br />

get immediate, personal<br />

answers to their concerns.<br />

This type <strong>of</strong> service will<br />

save your plan<br />

administrator and firm time<br />

and ensure your employees<br />

get fast, accurate answers.<br />

By taking care <strong>of</strong> the basics,<br />

you will build a solid<br />

foundation for your benefit<br />

program and your role in<br />

delivering the<br />

program will be<br />

clear to everyone.<br />

In turn, your<br />

knowledgeable<br />

employees will be<br />

more satisfied<br />

with your plan<br />

and better<br />

appreciate the<br />

value <strong>of</strong> the<br />

coverage you<br />

provide.<br />

If you wish to know more about<br />

the many benefits <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Chamber</strong>s<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong> Group Insurance<br />

Plan, please call Brian at 705-<br />

741-1400. You can also view<br />

Business After Hours<br />

FreeFlo Physiotherapy<br />

May is National<br />

Physiotherapy Month. What<br />

better way to celebrate than<br />

with the <strong>Chamber</strong>’s Business<br />

After Hours hosted by<br />

FreeFlo Physiotherapy, right<br />

here in Lakefield.<br />

FreeFlo Physiotherapy<br />

welcomed over twenty<br />

<strong>Chamber</strong> members on May<br />

25th with wine, cheese,<br />

snacks, friendly conversation,<br />

and various stations setup to<br />

showcase what their business<br />

has to <strong>of</strong>fer. Graham<br />

Florence (B. Sc. PT,<br />

RCAMT) and Ryan Freeburn<br />

(M. Sc. PT, MCPA) and the<br />

rest <strong>of</strong> the FreeFlo team were<br />

on hand to showcase the<br />

physiotherapy and massage<br />

services available through<br />

FreeFlo. In November 2008<br />

Graham and Ryan joined<br />

forces with Kendra Fleming<br />

(RMT) to provide Lakefield<br />

with physiotherapy and<br />

massage therapy services.<br />

Physiotherapists aim to<br />

combine in-depth knowledge<br />

<strong>of</strong> how the body works with<br />

specialized skills to assess,<br />

diagnose and treat symptoms<br />

<strong>of</strong> illness, injury or disability.<br />

They prescribe personalized<br />

therapeutic exercises, and<br />

provide essential education<br />

about the body, what keeps it<br />

from moving well, how to<br />

restore mobility and<br />

independence, and how to<br />

avoid or prevent bodily<br />

harm. National<br />

Physiotherapy Month<br />

encourages people to<br />

improve their personal<br />

mobility without injury and<br />

strain, as they venture out<br />

into their yards, parks and<br />

golf courses as the summer<br />

season arrives.<br />

FreeFlo Physiotherapy<br />

provides services to people<br />

<strong>of</strong> all ages and for all types <strong>of</strong><br />

injuries, big or small, with<br />

both Ryan and Graham<br />

EAST KAWARTHA CH AMBE R. BUI LDING BUSI NESS. BUI LDI NG COMMUNITY.<br />

skilled in the treatment,<br />

assessment and management<br />

<strong>of</strong> a wide range <strong>of</strong><br />

conditions. Most <strong>of</strong><br />

FreeFlo’s clientele is referred<br />

to them from doctors and<br />

through word <strong>of</strong> mouth.<br />

Although OHIP does not<br />

cover services, Extended<br />

Health Benefits packages<br />

generally do.<br />

At FreeFlo in Lakefield,<br />

Ryan, Graham, Kendra and<br />
