RICHMOND HILL, ON – Reopening isn’t as simple as turning the lights back on. That’s why Richmond Hill’s Economic Innovation and Partnerships team, in collaboration with the Richmond Hill Board of Trade, is offering a webinar series to help businesses reopen safely and effectively. The series supports the business recovery action plan being developed by the Recover Richmond Hill Task Force. 

From May 25 to May 28, four webinars and a panel discussion will look at reopening from multiple angles, including customer and employee safety, generating new business in a changed economy, and what that changed economy might actually look like. 

Speakers include Jean-François Perrault, Chief Economist of ScotiaBank and representatives from Richmond Hill businesses positioned to help others success.
