Why Choose Clarington?

"The CBOT has offered me an opportunity to increase my presence in the community. The wonderful women who run the CBOT have been incredibly helpful and supportive, whenever I've had a question or concern. I love that they offer evening events... Besides all of the extras that the CBOT offers; I've also met a lot of great business owners, who I consider friends. Why wouldn't you want to be part of such a phenomenal group?"
