The Peterborough + Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce (PKCC) and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) are inviting local business leaders to take part in the annual Business Confidence Survey.
The survey gives businesses across Ontario a chance to share insights on the challenges shaping their operations—from trade and tariffs to labour, climate, and technology. The results will guide policy advocacy at Queen’s Park and contribute to the OCC’s 2026 Ontario Economic Report, a key resource used by both business leaders and government decision-makers.
“It is so important that every business in and around the Peterborough + Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce take the 10 minutes to complete the survey,” said Brenda Whitehead, President & CEO of the Chamber. “Not only does this inform at the province, but if we collect enough of our own surveys, with the unique link provided, then we can get a picture of the Peterborough economic landscape as well. We hope the businesses and our partners will spread the news and contribute to the data so we can gather these valuable insights.”
The survey is open until November 12, and all responses will remain confidential. Results will help ensure local perspectives are represented in shaping Ontario’s economic agenda.
Businesses can access the survey through the Chamber’s website.
