Reflecting on an Incredible Year
Norbram had the pleasure of joining fellow members and business owners in celebrating an outstanding year with the Central York Chamber of Commerce. This annual gathering provided a moment to look back on twelve months filled with inspiring events, professional development opportunities, and strong community engagement. Throughout the year, the Chamber offered spaces for businesses to connect, learn, and collaborate, helping to strengthen relationships and open new doors across York Region.
These celebrations also served as a reminder of the resilience and creativity shown by local businesses. From small start ups to long standing companies, every member contributed to a vibrant and supportive business environment that continues to grow stronger each year.
Honouring Leadership and Welcoming New Beginnings
One of the most meaningful parts of the evening was the introduction of Carly as the new President and CEO. Her fresh ideas and leadership promise an exciting next chapter for the Chamber. With a clear focus on innovation, member engagement, and long term community impact, Carly’s vision will help guide the organization into a new era of growth.
At the same time, the event gave us the chance to express sincere appreciation to Emanuel Chris, whose leadership and dedication helped shape the Chamber into the dynamic organization it is today. His commitment to supporting local businesses and fostering collaboration has made a lasting difference, and his contributions were warmly acknowledged by everyone in the room.
Looking Ahead to 2026 with Optimism
The conversation throughout the evening was filled with anticipation for what comes next. With new events and initiatives already in the works for 2026, the Chamber is preparing for another year of meaningful programming and expanded opportunities for members. The focus on strengthening partnerships, promoting local business excellence, and enhancing community involvement will continue to drive success across the region.
As York Region grows, so does the potential for businesses to thrive. The momentum built this year sets the stage for an even more dynamic and collaborative business landscape in the months ahead.
Proud to Be Part of a Strong and Supportive Community
For Norbram, being part of the Central York Chamber of Commerce is more than networking. It is about contributing to a supportive community that empowers businesses to succeed, connect, and evolve. We are grateful for the partnerships formed, the knowledge shared, and the willingness of local leaders to show up and invest in one another.
We look forward to continuing our involvement, supporting new initiatives, and celebrating future achievements with the Chamber and its members.
