Greeting from the President & CEO and Chair Greetings Chamber Members and Friends, The months of May and June have been busy at the Chamber. We've had numerous events including the Deloitte TMT Breakfast, Breakfast Express Networking, May and June After Businesses, the 83rd Annual WERCC Golf tournament, and Chamber 143 where we presented Carol Derbyshire with the 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award for her business and community contributions to Windsor-Essex. In June, the Chamber signed a memorandum of understanding with the Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation in India to facilitate business to business interactions between the members of WERCC and the Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation. The objective is to provide WindsorEssex companies access to a growing market for the agribusiness and food processing sectors in the state of Chhattisgarh and other regions of India. This is a win-win relationship that will provide markets for the Rakesh Naidu President & CEO advancements in technology that we have achieved in the Windsor-Essex region and support the growth of Windsor-Essex companies in India. I am also excited to announce that the WERCC was invited to join the Windsor Detroit Bridge Authority (WDBA) and Bridging North America (BNA) as a delivery partner for the implementation of the Gordie Howe International Bridge Community Benefits Plan. There will be many positive outcomes for our members and the region as a whole. We look forward to engaging with WDBA and BNA to ensure that the project is successful and our members benefit from our participation. We've also been working very hard to add new partnerships to your Chamber program which will bring increased value to your Chamber membership. Stay tuned for exciting announcements in the next few months. If your company would like to discuss an Affinity partnership with the Chamber or to offer WERCC members an exclusive deal, please contact the Chamber office today. Lastly, we would like to welcome three new board members to the Chamber: Josh Cheifetz, Jason Ilijanic Allison Hawkins, and Gordon Orr. We look forward to working with each of you to create regional Chair economic prosperity in Windsor-Essex.

Chamber News
“Ontario wines are being met with an import tax of 35% plus an additional retail store tax of 6.1% despite being domestically produced and sold.”
| Business Briefs - July/August 2019
On May 4th, I had the pleasure of attending the Ontario Chamber of Commerce's AGM to present a policy resolution which seeks to make changes to the retail sale of alcohol in Ontario to demonstrate support for the local industry and jobs in the wine and grape sector. The resolution was co-sponsored by the Leamington Chamber of Commerce, Prince Edward County Chamber of Commerce, Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce and Grimsby Chamber of Commerce. The wine and grape industry is a massive driver of the province's economy. In 2015, it contributed $4.4 billion to the Ontario economy by supporting 18,000 jobs and hundreds of small family-owned businesses, while also attracting over 2.4 million tourists to wine country every year. Ontario Craft Wineries alone represent over 100 wineries across the province with a vast majority being small to medium sized family-owned businesses. Their craft wines are a significant driver of the Ontario rural economy due to VQA wines being 100% Ontario grown and produced, which contrasts to other alcohol beverage sectors in the province. The grape and wine industry is also a significant driver for the local economy in regions such as Niagara, Prince Edward County, Lake Erie North Shore, and other areas in Windsor-Essex County such as Pelee Island. Essex County contains 17 wineries that produce awardwinning wines owing to the area's 4 unique maritime climate with longer
RESOLUTION FOCUSSED ON THE WINE INDUSTRY Receives 100% Support at Ontario Chamber of Commerce AGM sun hours than any other area in Canada. This makes the wine and grape industry a popular local tourist attraction which generates revenue for the local economy. “The real key here is that small wineries actually create a lot of jobs,” says Tom O'Brien who is with Coopers Hawk Vineyards in Harrow. Unfortunately, due to overly strict and unfair regulations imposed on the sale and distribution of wine in Ontario, small businesses and rural communities have been experiencing a loss in profit. Ontario wines are being met with an import tax of 35% plus an additional retail store tax of 6.1% despite being domestically produced and sold. This has resulted in consumers choosing to purchase wine brands that are truly imported having more competitive pricing. O'Brien said that due to the absurdly high taxes imposed on domestic wines, selling a $15 bottle of wine from his storefront would only allow him to keep about $11, and even less if he is selling through the LCBO network at $6.50 (CBC). The Chamber has requested that wineries be able to sell to stores outside of the LCB O network eliminating the 35% import tax on domestic wines. Other wines producing nations have a highly competitive advantage for the production and distribution of their wines when compared to Ontario's wineries. While Ontario wines hold only a 24 percent market share with the LCBO, other nations are dominating their own market. The USA owns over 60% of their domestic market while some nations such as Spain, South Africa, and Argentina each own over 90% of their respective markets - well above what Ontario owns.
Steve Mitchel, President of the family-run Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery in Amherstburg, says that other countries aren't placing similar markups on their own wine which gives them a competitive advantage, something that the Ontario wine industry is lacking (Windsor Star). He continues to say that if the LCBO was to drop its 35% import tax, the average cost of a bottle of wine would also drop from $15 to $11 allowing for greater competition. To ensure that the Ontario wines and grape industry remains competitive in Ontario, the WERCC has urged the Government of Ontario to eliminate the 35% import tax levied on domestically produced and sold wines, eliminate the additional 6.1% retail tax that exists on top of other collectable sales tax, allow for direct delivery to new retail opportunities, prevent a grocery led oligopoly from arising, and enable the shipping of Ontario produced wines across provinces. contin. pg. 5
President Rakesh Naidu with OCC President Rocco Rossi
Chamber News Implementing these regulations will allow Ontario grape growers and wineries the ability to continue growing their businesses, make significant contributions to provincial and regional economies, and create local jobs. On Saturday, May 4th, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce held its 107th Annual General Meeting and Convention in Muskoka Lakes where various policy resolutions from across the province were considered.
The Windsor Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce's policy resolution on Ontario's wine industry received an overwhelmingly positive amount of support being unanimously approved by the OCC delegates. The adoption of this resolution will allow for the wine and grape industry to grow by reducing the tax burden, thus allowing for the creation of more jobs leading to economic diversification in the region.

Making Health and Safety Less Complicated: Tools for your small business Health and Safety matters...no matter the size of your business. With 97.7% of all Ontario businesses employing less than 100 people, we need to place extra care and attention on health and safety for small businesses. Often fast-paced operations, with employers kept busy balancing budgets, customer and regulatory demands, small businesses appreciate any help they can get. That is why Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS) has created a new set of free Job Aids and Safety Checks for agriculture, manufacturing and service sector small businesses. Aimed at improving hazard awareness and worker orientation, they minimize the time spent developing resources and increase the time spent delivering important safety messages.
Job Aids to improve hazard awareness among your workers The workplace can be a dangerous place if you go in unprepared, but with the right knowledge serious harm can be avoided. Use WSPS' small business Job Aids to learn what hazards exist in your workplace and educate yourself on what controls you can put in place to keep you and your workers safe. Over 65 are available, on a wide-variety of hazards, including: Bagel slicer Cannabis & impairment
Box cutters Snow blowers
Chemicals Emissions
Kegs Working around traffic
Access all Job Aids by visiting the WSPS Small Business Centre. Select the appropriate Safety Road Map (i.e. number of people employed), click on the Hazards tab and start learning.
Enhance your worker orientation with Safety Checks Workers – whether new at a job or returning from a long absence – are particularly vulnerable to workplace injury. This is why proper orientation is an essential part of a health and safety program. Include Safety Checks as a part of your orientation program to provide workers information on how to work safely with specific hazards, including appropriate behaviours and actions they can take to protect themselves. Over 35 different Safety Checks are currently available, including: Knife safety Step ladders
Deep fryers Conveyor systems
Working in hot environments Drill process
Golf carts Pallet jacks

All Safety Checks can be found on the WSPS Small Business Centre. Select the appropriate Safety Road Map (i.e. number of people employed) and click on Training & Orientation.

SPOTLIGHT On Our Members
PILLAR MEMBER ENWIN is proud to be a part of a rich tradition in Windsor and Essex County, and a forward-thinking contributor to our regional future. As a local distribution company, ENWIN operates and maintains the regulated electricity distribution system – as well as the potable water production and distribution systems owned by Windsor Utilities Commission – and the District Energy heating and cooling systems in Windsor. As the electricity and water sectors continue to transform at an unprecedented pace, it is our job to guide customers and businesses through these changes, manage rising electricity prices, ensure a supply of safe, clean potable water and prepare our distribution systems to accomplish things we have barely begun to imagine. One way we do this is through Water System Operating Agreement between ENWIN and WUC which has enabled strategic alignment between the utilities. This agreement helps us to eliminate redundancies, consolidate work tasks and reduce headcount – leading to efficiencies and savings for both utilities. The outcome is a high-functioning, results oriented, sustainable operation that has seen reductions in costs and increases in innovative planning. ENWIN is dedicated to staying on the cusp of technology and creativity – to actively pursuing a conversation with our customers, business partners and innovators – and to establishing the strong, viable partnerships that will help us to increase our capabilities and manage our costs. We will continue to work with our customers to build and sustain the power and water future for our community.
