I am excited to announce the Welcome Packages that have existed in Harrow/Colchester since 2017 are now making their way to Essex Centre! The first step is to put a call out to all businesses and let them know how they can join. Please help us spread the word that we would like to welcome new residents to our community with a package of information about our local businesses. The Welcome Packages in Harrow/Colchester have been a huge hit. I receive a lot of positive feedback from newcomers saying the information they received was helpful in the first few weeks they arrived. A warm introduction is not only beneficial to your business, but to our new residents as well, letting them know exactly what our awesome community has to offer!
Anyone can join at anytime. Businesses that would like to join are asked to drop off 100 items at a location listed in the flyer. Once we get the packages together I will let everyone know and we can start welcoming our new residents in Wards 1 and 2 by dropping one off right on their door step.
Last week I mailed out letters to each business in Essex inviting them to join the Welcome Package. If anyone would like more information, please email me at sbondy@essex.ca or phone 519-566-3105.
