Timmins, July 17, 2015—With all the ballots counted, the members of the Timmins Chamber of Commerce have officially elected six new individuals to represent them at the heart of the city’s largest business organization. Coming from a range of business sectors and backgrounds, these six will now sit on the Chamber’s 21-member board, providing direction and guidance to its policy, advocacy and programs on behalf of its 750-plus members. “The Timmins Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors features some truly talented and passionate people whose expertise will strongly benefit Timmins Chamber members,” said Kurt Bigeau, incoming 2015-2016 Chamber president, and owner of Northern Lights Financial Solutions Inc., a subsidiary of Sun Life Financial. “Their unique mix of talents is a testament to the strength of Timmins’ business community, and I look forward to working with them this fall as we continue to help ensure that Timmins is a great place to do business.” The new additions to the Board include Daniel Ayotte, president of Paul Ayotte Insurance Brokers Limited; Dave McLaughlin, manager of the Timmins office of the Canadian Cancer Society; Jason Perratt, owner of Logikal Code; and Jean-Pierre Nadon, director of Collège Boréal in Timmins. Two directors who served with the Board last year were also elected to return: Frank Haasen, co-owner of Haasen Farms Limited, as well as Jason Laneville, general/sales manager for CTV Television. They will be officially sworn in during the Chamber’s Annual General Meeting, due to be held at the Porcupine Dante Club on Sept. 23, 2015. Electronic and print ballots were sent out to each of the Chamber’s 1,200+ eligible voting members, who were given one month to cast their vote for their board representation. Each board member serves a two-year term, after which they can apply for re-election, for a maximum of three terms.
