This year’s AGM is especially meaningful as we celebrate 185 years of the Kingston business community. For nearly two centuries, local businesses, entrepreneurs, and community leaders have shaped the strength and resilience of our regional economy. This gathering is an opportunity to come together in gratitude, recognizing the continued support, innovation, and collaboration that drive Kingston forward.

The AGM will provide members with an update on the Chamber’s work over the past year and a look ahead at the priorities and initiatives planned for the coming year. Members will approve the Board of Directors and witness the swearing-in of the new Chair and First Vice-Chair of the GKCC Board for 2026–2027.

One vote per member organization have voting privileges at the AGM, so we encourage you to attend and participate in shaping the future of your Chamber.

This year’s program will also feature a special address from the Hon. Nina Tangri, Ontario’s Associate Minister of Small Business, followed by a Q&A session, offering valuable insights into the province’s support for small businesses and the economic outlook for Ontario.
