Local business can TAP in to higher profits by joining a new program in collaboration with the Combined Chairs Alliance and the City of Thorold.
With leadership by the City of Thorold, representatives of the Thorold Business Improvement Area (BIA), The Greater Thorold Business Council (GTBC), City of Thorold Tourism Advisory Committee (TAC) and City of Thorold Tourism Agent have collaborated to form the Combined Chairs Alliance. The Thorold Ambassador Program will be the CCA’s first collaborative effort to drive local business to increase sales for companies in our community.
