MindReader - Link Updated
Last week we sent an E-blast to our members offering an opportunity for them to enter to win a fantastic gift basket by signing up for MindReader. Regrettably there was a malfunction with our registration link, so for those of you who tried to sign up and received the error message Your responses for this study have already been received, and for those of you who would still like to enter to win,  the link has been updated.

The BC Chamber of Commerce and Vancouver-based Vision Critical have partnered to create a province-wide digital network which allows the BC Chamber to receive real-time information and data from our members.
