Hello Chamber Members,
I hope that you have enjoyed the warmer weather that we had earlier this month.
We as the staff at Vanderhoof Chamber of Commerce would like to update you on what we are doing for you. Currently we are working on the member discounts that you all have access to. We are working with our partners to figure out how you can access theses wonderful discounts, and who still actively offers them. We will be sending out an email shortly containing information regarding local discount, but we are still working on a couple local discounts, and the provincial discounts which we will send information out once we have it. Our media assistant Vincent is also working hard to communicate with those of you who are interested in having a mystreetmyneighbour video done for your business. If you are interested in having a video done and have not been contacted, please contact us so that we can add you to our list.
I hope that that you all enjoy the rest of your summer!

Hello,
My name is Anna Manwaring, and I began the role of Treasurer for the Chamber of Commerce in the fall of 2020. My family and I own and operate Northside Water Service Ltd. Being a business owner in Vanderhoof and becoming more involved with the Vanderhoof Chamber of Commerce, I have grown to appreciate what the Chamber accomplishes for the community of Vanderhoof. Foremostly, building relationships between businesses, as well as communication between business and consumer.
Quoted from the FAQ's on our website;
"The Chamber of Commerce is the Salesperson for the Community and it's businesses". The chamber is another voice for your business, come talk to one of our staff members, Philip, Amanda, and Vincent. Our hours have been extended now Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
July has most definitely been a memorable month, the warm temperatures have been enjoyable, unfortunately with the high temperatures comes extremely dry conditions. I believe I speak for everyone when I say Thank You to all that have been involved in fighting the numerous forest fires in our Province.
As we look forward to August, and continue following the necessary steps in Stage 3 of B.C.'s Restart Plan. With consideration, respecting our businesses that recommend you to wear a mask until fully vaccinated, lets be considerate of everyone's situations and comfort levels.
We as a community are in this together, and together we will get to Stage 4.
Anna Manwaring - Treasurer

We are in Step 3

- Masks are optional for children aged 2 to 12
- Children under 2 should not wear masks
- Proof of vaccination does not need to be requested by service providers
- Some people may choose to continue to wear a mask after they're fully vaccinated and that's okay

During this time of business uncertainty, we understand that finances are tight. That is why the Vanderhoof Chamber of Commerce is offering our renewing and new members the option to pay your membership fees over three months. Call to talk with Philip on how we can support your business through this time.
And a reminder that our membership runs on a 12 month basis. For example, if you join in June 2021 your membership is good to June 2022. We feel that this method supports our members best so that everyone gets the most out of their membership.
