2023 Business After Hours Program | Updates from the Chamber Network

Welcome back to those who had a longer break, or just to another week!

A short message again this week highlighting the Chamber’s opportunities coming up, and some of the initiatives of our community partners. Chamber staff have been hard at work this past week after the break getting more details in place for 2023. As we enter a January that has been without sun and snow so far, the Chamber has begun to plan for an event in April to discuss the community’s readiness for climate change. Look for details soon as this new event develops!

The Chamber continues to have a robust supply of COVID-19 Rapid Test kits for your business, please contact Alex to book your pick-up if needed.

Have a great week!
