The St. Thomas & District Chamber of Commerce has released the March 2026 edition of its Business Beat newsletter for residents in St. Thomas, Ontario. This monthly update provides a list of new local businesses, upcoming event dates, and resources for the more than 600 employers and organizations the group represents.
One of the main events featured this month is the New Here? Start Here Expo taking place on March 26, 2026. This gathering is meant to help people who have recently moved to the area connect with local service providers and learn more about the community.
Chamber CEO Paul Jenkins also shared updates regarding the 2026 Impact Awards. Finalists for these awards were announced in late January 2026 to celebrate the success of businesses and business owners across St. Thomas, Elgin County, and Southwold.
The latest newsletter also follows news that the Volkswagen PowerCo battery plant is still on track to start production in 2027. Major construction work on the plant continued through early 2026, and the project is expected to create thousands of new jobs for the region.
