BBIA BREAKFAST ROUNDTABLE

January 10, 2010

The BBIA is hosting its next very popular, semi-annual roundtable breakfast series meeting on Friday, January 22 at 7 a.m. at the Walter Baker Centre in Room 202 (second floor above the main entrance doors), for up to 40 business representatives.

In recent months, there have been several business-area crime incidents in Barrhaven, as you may have noticed in the local papers. The RCMP and Ottawa Police will discuss business-specific and local area crime issues as well as prevention techniques. Please join us for this free breakfast meeting. Seating is limited so please RSVP to Andrea Steenbakkers at execdirector@barrhavenbia.ca by January 15.

We wish to thank our breakfast sponsor for this event, Patrick Creppin of Keller Williams Ottawa Realty (www.patrickcreppin.com) and our coffee sponsor, Betty Hillier of Re/Max Affiliates Realty (www.bettyhillier.com).
