The summer months have officially begun and we couldn't be happier to see the

Here at the Chamber, July brings a well deserved break from events as we prepare for our Annual General Meeting on August 16th and the Outstanding Business Achievement Awards Gala on September 15th. Nominations for a Board Director and Treasurer position are currently being accepted. Head to the Chamber website and nominate a local community leader who you think might fit the bill.
