GUELPH CONNECT Business Directory

GUELPH CONNECT is a joint collaboration between the City of Guelph, the University of Guelph, and the Guelph Business Community via the Guelph Chamber of Commerce.  Earlier this year we interviewed many senior business representatives to get their perspective on what can be done to accelerate business growth in Guelph and our region. 

An initial project of GUELPH CONNECT is developing a master business directory, compiled by research from the University of Guelph, with funding from the City of Guelph (DFAIT grant) and Guelph Chamber of Commerce (IRAP grant).  3000 Copies of a print version will be used at trade shows, and within the local business community.  An on line version of all businesses in Guelph will be managed by the Guelph Chamber of Commerce.  To check it out please go to http://www.guelphchamber.com/ , click on Membership Directory and type in a keyword or business name.  Our website is being updated to reflect GUELPH CONNECT branding for the directory.  Guelph Chamber of Commerce members receive enhanced features in the on line directory with extended business descriptions, logos and maps as well as "GCC Member" identification.

The print version of the GUELPH CONNECT business directory will be finalizing advertising spots by September 1^st.  This will be Guelph’s only printed comprehensive business directory, to be distributed by the City of Guelph and Guelph Chamber of Commerce locally, regionally, and at national and international trade shows and conferences under the Grow Guelph initiative to promote Guelph and our businesses.

Daryl MacDonald would like to follow up you to discuss advertising.  He can be reached at daryl@guelphchamber.com. Our full launch of this program and distribution of the printed directory will come later this fall.
