Community Check-In: Tri-County Update

Updates as we lead into the new norm!

As we round out to the end of summer, we look back on the past few months of having lived through a pandemic.  We ask ourselves what really is the new norm? Will this be the way of life forever or might things go back to the way they were before?  Do we simply embrace the new norm, while yes we must ?.  Let’s sit back and remind ourselves of how thankful we are to be able to reflect on the moments that matter most.  Regardless of what all the feels are weather they be excitement, scared, grounding, positive or negative, come September we all are on a path together, another journey into our new norm! 

Local Supply Chain Support

Some exciting opportunities are coming my way as I look to assist and facilitate the creation and growth of the Local Supply Chain at New Brunswick Power and CNL (Chalk River)!  Enabling integration, diversification and retention of suppliers into both regions, engagement of local community organizations, facilitating and empowering relationships among Suppliers and Indigenous Communities as well as developing partnerships and dialogue among local educational bodies with a focus on Skilled Trades and STEAM.  Exciting stuff as we look to expand OCNI’s journey throughout Canada.  If you have any questions, want to know more about this new initiative or the opportunities that are in New Brunswick and Chalk River, please feel free to email me at alison.fernandes@ocni.ca, would love to chat!

We’d like to thank everyone who joined us for our Annual Charity Gold Tournament! Our foursomes were all sold out, thank you to all that are participating!  For anyone who missed this great opportunity to network while following social distancing protocols…

We are introducing a second Golf Tournament in Bruce County on October 1, 2020!
