Hello Chamber Members,

Spring has sprung and with a new season comes new management at the Vanderhoof Chamber of Commerce.

My name is Taylor Ephrom and I am a 4th generation Vanderhoof resident and am raising 5th generation kids. I have 2 young daughters and we enjoy all Vanderhoof has to offer. You'll find us outdoors when the weather is just right and you'll find us hibernating during the cold, frigid days.

I can't wait to work along side all of you and look forward to meeting you all and hearing your comments, concerns, and ideas on how the Vanderhoof Chamber of Commerce can assist you.

I will be making my rounds to businesses to introduce myself soon, but if you're out and about stop in and say hi!

Talk soon!

-Taylor

March 22 was World Water Day and I am excited to share with you that Rio Tinto has launched a water data platform – an Industry first – to increase transparency on our surface water allocations and usage at our sites, including BC Works. To access the platform, please visit Rio Tinto - Surface Water Allocation Disclosure (arcgis.com)
 
Additionally, we are publishing all our surface water allocation and usage data from the past five years and can provide historical data on request.
 
We are committed to finding better ways to minimize our impact on the environment, and to sustain our shared ecosystems, planet and natural resources for future generations.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly if you have any questions.

SuperHost Training
We have been contacted by a local business to ask if we would host SuperHost training which prompted us to look into it more.

We are gathering information from other business owners to establish the need for this training.

Please vote in the poll if your business would sign up for this course - more details to be announced once we determine the need in the community.

This would be an online course.
