Wow! What glorious fall days we have and the autumn colors have just begun. Our local farmers are busy with harvest and if the wet weather and frost holds off we should have some great crops.
The Chamber, along with Lloydminster Economic Development Corporation, Community Futures Lloydminster Region and Rotoract welcomed Lakeland College students to our Lloydminster campus today with a hamburger lunch cooked up by Century 21 and friends. It was pretty clear that our campus enrollment has swelled. There was hardly a spot to park in the parking lot. Great to see so many future business people in one spot.
The Chamber Connect will be held at the Vic Juba Theatre tonight with some great door prizes, excellent food and good company. Hope you will be there. The Chamber committees have begun to meet again for the new year. The Political Action Committee (PAC) met this week and Dabir Naqvi will head up a committee to continue the dialogue on the Premiers Council on the Economy report which was released this spring. If you are interested in working on this committee, please give me a call and I can connect you with Dabir.
I am looking forward to attending the Pioneer Lodge Grand opening next week. They have done some major renovations and upgrades to make it into a first class seniors residence. If you are interested in learning more about what funding and grants are available for small business, be sure to attend the seminar sponsored by the Incubator Committee on Sept 21st. More information available at http://www.lloydminsterchamber.com/newsletters/documents/incubator_sept21_event1.pdf
Don't forget about the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast on Sat. Sept 17th. Tickets available at Tunes or Verses. The guest speaker sounds very interesting.
The Lloydminster Chamber has arranged a meeting between the Community Leaders Group and some key deputy ministers in Regina at the end of the month. Representatives from health, education, post secondary education, civic government and business will have an opportunity for some dialogue with government about some of the challenges and opportunities in Lloydminster.

Till next time ....
