Here’s a look at some of the highlights from the interview and why the GSCC is an essential part of the local business ecosystem.
The GSCC’s Role in the Community
“The GSCC is a vital cog in the machine, which is the Summerside area business community. We are not only here to connect businesses and provide ways for members to communicate, but we also play a vital role in bridging the gaps between small and medium businesses and contacts in government and municipal roles.” – Martin, Mitch. “New executive director for Summerside chamber sees potential in P.E.I. city” Interview conducted by Colin MacLean.

This statement reflects the core mission of GSCC: connecting, advocating, and empowering businesses of all sizes within our community. From networking events to policy advocacy, we work tirelessly to ensure our members have access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
Connecting Business with Government
In the Journal Pioneer interview, Mitch Martin emphasizes how the GSCC plays an essential role in fostering strong relationships between local businesses and government or municipal leaders. As he explains, the Chamber not only provides businesses with valuable information, but it also ensures that their voices are heard at key decision-making tables. This connection helps businesses navigate regulatory changes, gain access to funding opportunities, and advocate for policies that support the growth of the local economy.
