This week, Colleen Proudfoot (Pictou County Partnership) and Ann MacGregor (Nova Scotia Works Career Connections) welcome Layla Rahmeh, Executive Director of the Pictou County Chamber of Commerce.

Layla shares how the Chamber supports local businesses through advocacy, member benefits, and networking—and gives us a preview of the Business Achievement Awards happening October 22, 2025 at the DeCoste Centre in Pictou.

We also discuss the importance of small businesses, collaboration among local economic development organizations, and upcoming Small Business Week visits to local businesses from the Chamber, Pictou County Partnership, and IGNITE.

🎟️ Tickets for the Business Achievement Awards are available (while supplies last) at: decostecentre.ca
