Many people ask, ‘What do I get for my Chamber membership?’ The Chamber does so much throughout the year
for the community, business, and advocacy.
The Lloydminster Chamber is here to serve, promote and protect.
The Chamber serves member businesses through
several value added programs; these would include discount programs, free job
postings on lloydjobs.com, a complimentary page on the Chamber website, and
access to many resources. The networking
opportunities alone are invaluable.
Networking opportunities include our monthly Chamber Connect events, business
awards, golf events, and curling bonspiel.
Through participation in events, members make valuable connections that
can further their business. The Chamber of Commerce Group Insurance plan is one
of the best insurance plans for small business in Canada.
The Chamber promotes by being the
information hub for the community, promoting events, businesses, and the
community as a whole. The Chamber promotes private enterprise through a
fair, competitive & open market. We
promote the community locally as well as through various regional tourism
information sources. Every day the Chamber office receives
inquiries from near and far of where one can find a particular product or
service; it is our policy to refer to a member first every time.
The Chamber protects Lloydminster businesses
through the advocacy work on behalf of members.
By regular community & provincial scans, Chambers advocate for
business members, protecting them from legislation that could be bad for their
business. The Lloydminster Chamber has
authored and taken forward many policy resolutions that have seen changes made
in legislation or actions at all levels of government. The Chamber successfully
lobbied the Saskatchewan government to release Saskatchewan businesses from
their obligation to charge and remit Provincial Sales Tax. The City has also
responded to the Chamber’s policy resolution that requested a ‘made in
Lloydminster solution’ for some kind of public transportation. The Chamber has great power in the voices of
the 600 members it represents!
Your support of the Chamber’s work on behalf of the business
community, whether that is through participation in events, being a strong advocate,
promoting the community as the best place to live, work, and do business or a
great place to visit, is very important.
Many people and businesses do not understand how important a
vibrant and progressive Chamber of Commerce is to the community. The Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit
organization, dependent on membership dues to deliver valuable services,
business advocacy and member events to our clients. Your membership fee is like a utility bill
that only needs to be paid once per year.
It helps the Chamber do the work of advocacy, connecting, and public
relations for our business community. We
profit every member we serve.
Your Chamber, the largest business organization in the region.
