Season Greetings
from your CEO
December 2023
Dear Members,
Over 30 members attended the West Prince Chamber of Commerce 7th Annual General Meeting on November 23rd at Mill River Resort. Guest speaker Francis Morrissey talked about the latest Innovation and Productivity being used at Royal Star Foods Ltd. From new cardboard packaging to addressing environmental concerns and smaller food boxes to accommodate how people's eating habits are changing; 95% of lobster processed goes to Europe and 5% to the U.S.A. "Francis says there are two things to remember in business, one is our your customers - do whatever you have to to look after them. The second thing is your employees, do not forget your employees, because without them nothing operates and you have nothing."
The Chamber welcomed three new business people to the board of directors: Tracey Wedge - Century 21-Northumberland, Morris LeBlanc - Moe's Independent Grocer, and Colin Cornish - Provincial Credit Union. You can view the WPCC 2022-23 AGM reports below.
Sincere thanks for your continued support and investment. We wish you and your family heartwarming relaxing Christmas holidays.
Tammy Rix
Chief Executive Officer
