About this Episode

As we traverse our pathway through the COVID-19 pandemic The Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce sees us all together as we taxi along the #RecoveryRunway. Businesses of all sizes have had to pivot their planning to adapt with change, and among those businesses are the #PivotPilots who have shown great innovation and leadership in their business practices. In this edition of Chamber Chats Bruce Williams sat down with three #PivotPilots who have been navigating that runway until we're all clear for takeoff.
Cathy Scott of Departures Travel, Paul Hadfield of Spinnakers, and Marnie Hart of Sailor Jack Consignment are this week's "Pivot Pilots"
