Dear Stayner Business,
 
The Stayner Chamber of Commerce would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for being part of our growing community. And to any recently established businesses, welcome!
 
Our wonderful community of Stayner may be small, but the Stayner Chamber of Commerce works hard for your business and in turn the people of our town. Each year the Chamber runs or supports several initiatives that help to bring awareness to our town and traffic to our businesses. We are also the voice of our members with Clearview Township to help support and promote change. The money raised from your membership fee is used as a budget to help fund the events and other investments (e.g. planter boxes to beautify our main street), enticing people to stop. We need your help to influence visitors to stop in our town and for residents to shop local!
 
Here are some of Stayner’s success stories… 

1. The Witches Walk has grown each ear since its inception and this year saw 9,000 points of contact by participants for the businesses involved in the 3 hour event. This is double the numbers from the previous year.  $2,458 was raised for The Clearview Door.
2. This year’s Canada Day celebration saw a high number of townsfolk at the parade and approximately 500 people celebrating at the Stayner Arena immediately afterward. 
3. The Stayner Music, Market & Park It was well attended this year despite being plagued by rain almost every Thursday. 
4. The Stayner Art Fest continued this year under a new name and with a new layout. It had a positive turnout this year just as with previous years. 
5. The Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony is a tradition in town and continues each year with your membership support.

The Chamber will continue to plan, execute and partner on events that positively impact our community. With your support we will continue to grow our events and put the membership budget to positive use in the township.
