Businesses in Saugeen Shores – Wait to Hear from Us!

The Town has launched the Saugeen Shores Business Review program in collaboration with the County of Bruce to collect important data from businesses through ongoing interactions. The program will help the Town make data driven decisions and better support our existing businesses. The program will help the Town understand current business challenges, provide necessary business support, help with succession planning, and inspire more people to pursue entrepreneurship.

Businesses/business owners in Port Elgin and Southampton can expect to hear from our team either by phone call or in-person to learn more about your business, and how we can support your success. The program launched on July 2, 2024.
