COVID-19: Business Resource Centre
Resources and tools for your business.
The Labrador North Chamber of Commerce (LNCC) continues to listen intently to its members and understands there is a need for business supports and tools during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are not only committed to sharing pertinent information to our membership and business community surrounding the business impact of COVID-19, but understand the value in providing you an opportunity to ask your questions to our government leaders. We encourage you to contact us at any time with questions or concerns.
Below you will find a list of resources and tools you require to ensure your business recovers quickly once COVID-19 measures have been lifted:

Support Local Labrador Initiative
#SupportLocalLabrador is an initiative of the Labrador North Chamber of Commerce to promote local business throughout the region of Labrador. In these uncertain times, it is more important than ever to support our many small businesses throughout the region. Given the rapidly changing situation with COVID-19, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has ordered a number of businesses to close. Despite the order, many small businesses are still operating by offering delivery and pick-up services.
Do you own or know of a small business in Labrador that is continuing to offer products and services to its customers? Let us know! Post the information on the page to share with customers throughout Labrador. Visit our Facebook page: #SupportLocalLabrador
