The Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce hosts the annual New Business Mixer to help new business owners get involved in the business community. The event is from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 downstairs at the Blackfin Pub in Comox. It's restricted to the owners or managers of a new business that has opened in the Valley in the last year.

"The New Business Mixer is an excellent networking and relationship building event that provides an opportunity for Chamber of Commerce employees and board members to meet new business owners and managers, and learn about the exciting new additions in our business community," Chamber president/CEO Dianne Hawkins said.

Attendees will have a chance to speak about their business, products and services.

"In addition to getting to know your new business neighbours, there will be an opportunity to learn more about the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce, what we do and what the benefits of belonging can be," Hawkins adds.

There is no charge for new business owners and managers. Pre-register at www.comoxvalleychamber.com.
