Young voices join the conversation about their future.....

Yesterday Chamber staff members Karin Winter and Serena Sjodin worked with Leadership students at LCHS, inviting them to be part of the conversation about their provinces’ futures.

The students received information about the Shaping the Future report and had a chance to give their thoughts about its recommendations for the future.

The purpose of the initiative is to get students thinking about the path to the best possible future for their city and provinces, and to help them understand the power of their voice to bring about change.

Under 40 Young Professional event held ..

The first ever Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals Under 40 event took place last night downtown at The Root Community Emporium. About 40 community members from a variety of businesses gathered to meet some new people, share ideas, and network in a casual environment.

Mike Holden, the Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, greeted those in attendance and drew names for door prizes. Amanda from The Root also addressed those attending and gave an update.

Feedback on the event has been positive and there are plans to host another event of this nature in the spring. For more information about the Young Professional Under 40 event, contact the Chamber office at 780-875-9013

Another event that the Chamber is working hard to get off the ground is the Scotch Doubles curling spiel. Curling is becoming more popular across Canada. You don't need to have curled before or even have any of the required equipment to get involved. Scott Manners, Saskatchewan's representative at the Brier last year will be on hand with some of his curling colleagues to give some instruction prior the the 'spiel starting and/ or to participate in some fun skills activities. 

Till next time .....Pat
