Some of our business members received damage to their buildings and property during the high winds and crazy weather last week. We can be thankful there weren't serious injuries to humans or animals. The SPCA will need our community support even more now that they have lost the building that would have potentially been their new residence.
We have a member satisfaction survey out to members right now. Please take a minute to fill in this 5 questions survey and return to us. It is important that we hear from you about the priority issues for the upcoming year. At any time that you have a suggestion about how the Chamber can serve the business community better, we want to hear from you.
Kevin & I have attended our first Primary Health Care working group joint meeting. The vision and objectives were discussed and over the next few weeks it will be important for us to hear from our members about what the business community believes to be the important considerations. Surveys may be the tool used to collect that information.

You won't want to miss the Chamber Business Week Awards Gala this year. It will be held at the Vic Juba theatre. Watch for details in the Chamber newsletter. Many local businesses have been nominated for awards in eight categories. Every nominated business will be eligable to compete for the Business of the Year award. In addition to the usual business week events, the Chamber will be partnering with other local organizations to present the 2nd annual Men's Conference during business week. Watch for details.
The Chamber and Streetscapes encourages all businesses to get in the spirit of the CPCA finals by decorating your buisness in the western theme. Local artist, Michele Lake, is available for hire to paint your windows and the Lloyd Ex has said they have a few hay bales available for decorating purposes. Let's welcome the drivers, their families and the spectators to town. These types of events contribute to a healthy economy.
Till next time ........
