Your Chamber has been working with community stakeholders over several years to identify how we can best champion for our city, and encourage population growth, entrepreneurship and overall mind shift for the better. Through focus groups, surveys and one on one discussions, we identified several key factors that were believed to be hindering individuals from choosing Portage.

We are taking action on those factors, and encourage everyone in our community to continue to be a Portage Champion - say our city's name loud and proud!
