A New Chapter Begins in Paris!
The Locally Connected Community Hub is excited to share that our community continues to grow across South and Southwestern Ontario. We’re officially live with our newest and 8th chapter — Paris Area Business Connections!
Many of you already know Krysta Hajovic from our Stratford Area chapter. While she lives in Tavistock, Krysta works in Paris and brings deep local insight, strong community connections, and valuable leadership experience to this new chapter. As Executive Director of Paris Child Care, she oversees two daycares and five before- and after-school programs, supporting more than 300 children and families in the Paris area. Krysta truly understands the power of community connection and saw a clear opportunity to bring LCCHub’s momentum and energy to Paris — and we’re thrilled to have her leading the way.
- Join and follow the Paris Area Business Connections Facebook group
- RSVP to the inaugural Paris Area Business Connections meetup (February 2)
We can’t wait to see the connections, conversations, and community-building that will grow from this newest chapter!
Something BIG is Coming to Our Door Prize Program!
We’re unveiling a brand-new way to distribute our famous door prizes—and this time, we’re harnessing the power of Generative Artificial Intelligence with the help of our amazing volunteer, Tom Heiber, CEO of HeitechSoft.
Want a chance to win a prize of your choosing through this innovative process? You have to be there to experience it! Just make sure to bring your cell phone—you’ll need it to participate. Don’t miss out on this exciting upgrade at our 9th Anniversary Meetup - click here to RSVP!
New Volunteer Communications Tool: Slack
We’re excited to share that LCCHub has introduced Slack, a modern, channel-based communication and collaboration platform, for our volunteers and ambassadors.
Slack helps us streamline communication, reduce email clutter, and improve transparency by bringing conversations, updates, and shared resources into one easy-to-use, searchable space. We’re already nearly fully onboarded—and making great use of its features!
More importantly, Slack helps strengthen connection across our volunteer community. It creates a shared space where ideas flow, updates are timely, and everyone feels part of something special—working together to support inclusive, safe, and welcoming communities.
Interested in getting involved? If you’d like to join an amazing group of volunteers making a real difference in where we live, work, play, and shop, we’d love to hear from you.
Together, we’re building stronger, more connected communities—one conversation at a time.
