For Immediate Release
Tuesday, November 10, 2026 - Port Hope, ON
The Municipality of Port Hope is bringing together local businesses, key industry representatives and regional partners for an Industry Breakfast and Networking Event on Wednesday, November 18, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at Community Room, Jack Burger Sports Complex (60 Highland Drive). The event is part of Port Hope’s Business Retention & Expansion and Energy & Manufacturing Supply Chain Readiness initiative, which is examining how local and regional businesses can strengthen competitiveness and better position themselves for emerging opportunities.
Registration has already attracted significant interest from industry, businesses and economic development partners. Businesses involved in manufacturing, construction, engineering, fabrication, logistics, transportation, skilled trades, technology and industrial services are encouraged to participate. These businesses do not need to currently supply the energy or nuclear sectors.
“The response tells us there is a strong appetite for these conversations,” noted Manager, Economic Development, Julian Douglas. “Port Hope has an opportunity to help businesses build the connections, capabilities and readiness needed to compete as new investment and supply-chain opportunities emerge.”
A key focus of the initiative is identifying companies with transferable capabilities, understanding what may be required to enter new markets and connecting businesses with industry, training and business-support resources.
The breakfast will include an update on the BR&E and Supply Chain Readiness initiative, industry perspectives, business networking and access to regional business-support organizations.
