Honouring the community
By Lisa Kopochinski
For many years, the Greater Parkland Regional Chamber of Commerce Business Awards of Distinction has been a celebration of the area’s business community.
The chamber has continued to recognize the high standards that local entrepreneurs have brought to the area. The 2023 Awards Program—which took place at the Elks Hall in Spruce Grove on October 18, 2023— acknowledged local excellence during Small Business Week.
“This is one of the most fundamental things we do during Small Business Week. People look forward to this event,” says Norman Leach, executive director of the Greater Parkland Regional Chamber (GPRC).
JUDGING CRITERIA
A look back at the 2023 GPRC Business Awards of Distinction
Nominations were called in last May by an anonymous committee known only by the executive director and friends.
“Typically, there are three nominees that could win each award,” says Leach.
The GPRC Business Awards of Distinction judging panel follows a strict judging process. Judges are selected on an annual basis, have no relationship with any of the nominees, do not hold any volunteer or paid positions with the Greater Parkland Regional Chamber of Commerce, and will declare any conflict of interest prior to judging. The decision of the judging panel is final.
The information submitted is strictly confidential. All persons who may come in contact with a nomination— such as the awards coordinator and judges—are all bound by a confidentiality agreement.
“On the awards night, we held a gala, which is certainly a big deal,” says Leach. “People come dressed up and nominees bring their cheering squads. The awards are then handed out and photos are taken. A total of 201 people attended.”
There are two categories of awards: the 2023 Business Awards of Distinction and the 2023 Municipal Awards. Criteria for these awards are as follows:

WINNERS ARE ECSTATIC
One of the winners is Fabco Plastics, who was awarded the Parkland County Award of Excellence – Large Business. A chamber member since 2018, Fabco Plastics is a familyfocused business that is committed to the community.
“Each year there are several not-for-profit organizations that benefit from the Greater Parkland Regional Chamber of Commerce by way of monetary contributions, food donations, and toy donations generated at local events,” says Tyler Reil, manager at Fabco Plastics.
A first-time award winner, when asked what this Award of Excellence means to the company, Reil simply says “community”.
“This is the first time Fabco Plastics has been recognized. We couldn’t be prouder of the community and culture created by the Greater Parkland Regional Chamber of Commerce.”
Pretzel Shack was ecstatic to be awarded the Business of Year Award – Small Business.
“Winning the award meant the world to us!” says owner Anna Leucke. “We are still fairly new in business, as well as new to the area and to Canada in general. We came over from Germany in 2018. Since we just opened our business in 2021, we have never won an award and couldn’t be more grateful and humbled to receive this amazing award.”
A chamber member since 2022, Leucke says the three biggest benefits Pretzel Shack has received
so far has been getting connections to other businesses in the area, being able to offer health benefits for its valued employees, and receiving huge support in promoting their business.
“Every morning we get up and try our best to offer quality products and support this beautiful community that welcomed us with
open arms from day one. There’s been times we have struggled and there are times we’ve asked ourselves, ‘Are we capable of doing this?’ By winning the Business of the Year Award, we got our answer. Yes, we can!”
Lea-Der Coatings—a chamber member since 2015—was awarded the Global Player Award.
21 Greater Parkland Regional Chamber of Commerce
“Winning the Global Player Award was an amazing achievement. Being recognized by the region for all the hard work we do is greatly appreciated,” says Darrell Demers, president of Lea-Der Coatings. “This news was exceptionally well received by our international and domestic clients and they are honoured to be affiliated to our branded name.”
Another winner was Zender Ford, which was presented with the Community Spirit Award. A long-time chamber member, Chad Zender, president of Zender Ford, says this award is a big deal to not just himself, but his business partners and other Zender Ford members.
“It means we are achieving one of our company goals of making an impact in the community beyond the products that we sell and service. One of our core values is community, and we strive to make sure that our business is an integral part of our local community,” says Zender.
This isn’t the first time Zender Ford has won an award. Just recently, the company was presented with the Associate Business of the Year Award from the Acheson Business Association. And in 2018, the company was presented with the Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year Award.
“This was very special. By winning these awards, it shows us that the community is listening and watching and is appreciative of our efforts,” Zender says. “It motivates us all to continue what we are doing.”
Leach adds that he was extremely pleased with the awards this year.
“It was a great event. We congratulate the winners and look forward to next year’s awards ceremony.”

Cultivating unity
By Shayna Wiwierski
In the heart of Alberta, the Greater Parkland Regional Chamber (GRPC) has emerged as a pivotal force in promoting economic growth, community development, and business advocacy between the communities of Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, and Parkland County. At the forefront of this mission is the Indigenous Business Committee, a dynamic initiative aimed at fostering collaboration, understanding, and economic opportunities between the Indigenous communities and the broader business landscape.
The committee was formed in late 2020 and its purpose is to build effective and positive relationships, assisting with the introduction of private sector projects, in a way that meets businesses’ competitive priorities while respecting the rights, cultures, and aspirations of
Tipi teachings as part of Small Business Week. From L to R: Philip Campiou, Paulla Adamitz, and Rik Kaminski.
The GPRC’s Indigenous Business Committee is breaking down stereotypes and fostering economic prosperity in the heart of the community
Indigenous peoples. This committee serves as a bridge between the Indigenous communities that call the region home, as well as the wider business community, working to create harmonious and mutually beneficial relationships, while improving economic benefits to everyone in the region.
Paulla Adamitz, the former chair of the committee for three years, is a financial advisor and the owner of Adamitz Financial Solutions Inc. Hailing from the Cree community of Sucker Creek First Nation in Treaty 8 Territory, Adamitz vividly recalls a time when the representation of Indigenous businesses within the chamber was limited.
In those early days, Indigenous businesses were scarcely seen at events, within the board, and other key platforms, underscoring a glaring disconnect that pointed to the undervaluation of the Indigenous community’s contributions.
Recognizing this gap, the Indigenous Business Committee was born, with the mission of enhancing participation among Indigenous
peoples, and elevating economic interaction between communities.
The committee’s inception was timely, aligning with the prevailing political landscape in Canada concerning Indigenous people.
“Indigenous people are the fastestgrowing segment in the population of Canada. According to Statistics Canada, over 1.6 million people identified as Aboriginal identity in 2016, and of course that number is growing,” says Adamitz. “So, the intention of the committee is to be able to provide the board with clear recommendations and bring background information, perspective, options, and rationales for facilitating business relationships or projects in order to develop a strong business relationship with our Indigenous neighbours.”
The Indigenous Business Committee operates with a set of clear and ambitious goals. Primarily, it aims to promote membership of Indigenous businesses within the chamber.
Adamitz says that according to Statistics Canada, Indigenous people are five times more likely to start a business in Alberta, and
24 GPRC Connect 2024
it’s a growing demographic. Given that one of the primary objectives of any chamber is to expand its membership base, the committee is dedicated to cultivating a diverse membership, specifically focusing on Indigenous businesses on this committee. This strategic approach aims to foster inclusivity, ensuring that the chamber can extend meaningful support to Indigenous entrepreneurs, mirroring the assistance provided to businesses across all sectors.
Another pivotal aspect of the committee’s mission lies in fostering collaboration with non-Indigenous businesses engaged in partnerships with Indigenous enterprises.
“We have several businesses that happen to work with a lot of Indigenous communities for their own business. One of them already had an Indigenous initiative
within their company and they were already asking themselves such things as ‘we work in these communities, what more can we do?’ Or ‘let’s participate in something that furthers our understanding of the communities that we are already involved in, and see if we can do something that would help’,” says Adamitz. “People can see that there is a need and people can see that some communities struggle. So, what can we do to help people get ahead?”
One of the primary focuses of the committee is to create a platform for Indigenous entrepreneurs to thrive. This involves establishing connections with local businesses, government agencies, and educational institutions to open doors for collaboration, investment, and skill development. By providing a supportive ecosystem, the
committee aims to empower Indigenous businesses to contribute significantly to the regional economy. Furthermore, the committee actively participates in significant events such as National Indigenous Peoples Day, extending their engagement to include community-focused initiatives. At the committee’s inception, a prominent emphasis was placed on educating residents, business owners, and politicians, seeking to elucidate the historical context and the imperative need for assistance in Indigenous communities.
“They can recognize that there has been an historical inequality and a lot of people, especially since the [unmarked graves of Indigenous residential school students were found, people are asking about what they can do to help the situation,” says Adamitz. “They will say, ‘well

maybe I can attend a half-day workshop on something’ where they can get some learning and education. They are finding that kind of programming is really important… Systemic racism still does exist. People don’t recognize it because they don’t experience it so they don’t see how badly other people can be treated in certain situations or certain institutions, so having an awareness of a lot of it is really good. It’s a slow process building up awareness and changing perceptions.”
To establish a strong foundation for the committee, they initiated a series of four sweat ceremonies, a culturally significant practice that pays homage to Indigenous ancestors and traditions. These were tailored for local politicians and members from the Alberta Chambers of Commerce. The overwhelmingly positive reception and perceived value of these ceremonies prompted their inclusion as essential components of the committee’s ongoing initiatives.
The committee has also held a number of events related to Indigenous issues and culture, such as workshops about the background of Indigenous history in Canada and the generational traumas that has come with it; job fairs in partnership with Enoch Cree Nation; workshops featuring the KAIROS Blanket Exercise, and workshops on tourism from Indigenous Tourism Alberta. Adamitz says those events have always been well attended and received, and it’s a chance for business owners to find out a little more background and to understand the issues facing Indigenous business owners today.
A significant event stemming directly from this committee and the relationships it has developed is having participation from neighbouring chiefs and Métis leaders at the chamber’s State of the Region event. Adamitz says that many long-time community leaders have taken the time to tell her how much they appreciate the participation of Indigenous leaders,
and that this inclusion “was a long time coming”, in the words of many.
Another remarkable achievement of the committee was the signing of the Declaration of Working Together Towards a Shared Prosperity, in August 2023 between the GPRC and AKSIS, Edmonton’s Indigenous Business and Professional Association. This document serves to acknowledge and formalize the intent of the two organizations to move forward together to foster economic growth and shared prosperity by collaborating through meetings, events, educational opportunities, and other partnerships.
Rik Kaminsky, business development professional and community builder, is the former business engagement specialist with the GPRC. He says that they were one of the first chambers to come up with an Indigenous Business Committee and after seeing the success of the initiative, they put together some protocols and started sharing them

with other chambers provincially and federally. He adds that they have seen great success not only with the businesses involved, but also with the Indigenous Nations and coordinators.
“They see value in it and are happy to participate. When people do show up they are truly grateful for it and they see the benefit in being part of something,” says Kaminsky, who is also Métis. “It
also allows us to connect those entities with other businesses in our membership. I used to do that as a business engagement specialist; if a company wanted to partner or do a joint venture with a First Nations’ business, because I have a lot of those contacts, I would make the introductions. We have made some great partnerships [from it].”
Amanda Conklin-Ward, a master aesthetician and the owner of
whipLASH Aesthetics Ltd., brought her expertise to the committee during an 18-month tenure. Hailing as a proud Métis business owner in Stony Plain, she was invited to join the committee to provide valuable insights into the unique challenges faced by small Indigenous-owned businesses in the community and offer constructive feedback.

significant support from the Métis Nation of Alberta, who played a pivotal role in her business’ early stages. They assisted her in crafting a robust business plan and facilitated grants to cover initial overhead expenses for her studio. Recognizing her firsthand experience, the Indigenous Business Committee sought her guidance on the realities of being an Indigenous business owner and initiating a business from the ground up.
She says that the committee was a long time coming since there are so
many talented Indigenous business owners in the community and it’s about time they get recognized for what they are doing.
“Helping other young Indigenous people who have the drive for that and to have that success and wanting to create their own business is a benefit to all of us,” says ConklinWard. “Because of being on that committee, other organizations have also reached out to me to help mentor other Indigenous small business owners and aestheticians as well and to help guide them in starting out fresh and jumping through the hurdles we go through.”

as well as provide sponsorships for events. It also helps to connect those Indigenous entities with member businesses.
Supporting the Indigenous Business Committee is a crucial step towards fostering unity within the community. Addressing the historical isolation of Indigenous people, who have often been excluded from economic prosperity in the region, is paramount.
“For far too long, [Indigenous people] have not been given the chance and were often overlooked since there are still a lot of awful stereotypes,” says Kaminsky. “The Indigenous Business Committee cuts down a lot of those stereotypes and is showing non-Indigenous businesses that there is an awful lot of value in working with them. There are personal rewards from that, as well as accessing a labour base that hasn’t been tapped. There are a lot of people who are ready, willing, and able, they just need the chance.”

Rolling strong
By Lisa Kopochinski
All Trailer Repair’s 15-year journey of excellence in trailer maintenance and customization.
Formed in 2008 by Landis Vanthuyne and his father, Jerry, All Trailer Repair has been going strong for more than 15 years.
Located in Stony Plain, the company specializes in the maintenance and repair of light- and medium-duty trailers which includes bearings, brakes, suspension, axles and
alignments, lights and wiring, tires and wheels, roofing, and paneling.
“We also install hitches and other towing products, from bumper hitches on cars, trucks, and RVs, fifth wheel and gooseneck hitches, and towbars and baseplates for towing a vehicle behind a motorhome,” says Vanthuyne. “And we manufacture
32 GPRC Connect 2024

well-built light-duty trailers for customers who want to make their product mobile.”
The company currently employs 14 team members at its shop that spans an impressive 8,000 square feet. With its clientele that essentially includes anyone or company that tows a trailer, Vanthuyne says, “We work with companies large and small, and individuals with trailers such as RVs, horse trailers, dump trailers, enclosed/snowmobile trailers, and more.”
When asked what he likes most about running All Trailer Repair, he doesn’t miss a beat.
“I enjoy solving our customers’ problems. We apply our knowledge from past experience, other industries, and experts to help deliver to our customers’ expectations,” says Vanthuyne. “Some customers want peace of mind to tow their trailer down the road, while others want to upgrade, modify, or even build something suited to their own needs.”
INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
As for the challenges that his company regularly encounters, Vanthuyne says that being a niche company can make it difficult to find off-the-shelf technicians to work on the floor.
“We have welders, heavy-duty trailer technicians, RV technicians, automotive technicians, and more. Skillsets from multiple trades are needed to deliver all of our offered services,” he says. “This makes
“Some customers want piece of mind to tow their trailer down the road, while others want to upgrade, modify, or even build something suited to their own needs.”

scaling the business challenging. We have moved towards a strategy of hiring good apprentices and individuals who want to learn and training them in all that we do.”
CHAMBER MEMBERSHIP
A member of the Stony Plain Chamber of Commerce since 2008, All Trailer Repair has continued its membership with the Greater Parkland Regional Chamber since its amalgamation between the Stony Plain, Spruce Grove, and Wabamun chambers.
“Our reason back then [for joining] was because that is what we thought you did when you opened a business in Stony Plain,” Vanthuyne recalls. “First, a business licence and then a chamber membership.
Talking to other business owners, it felt like the culture of Stony Plain business was to support the chamber. We are happy to support our local businesses, the community, and to contribute to the voice of business in our area.”
The main benefits his company derives from being a member includes exposure at chamber events, and opportunities to network and connect with like-minded individuals.
“Also, advocacy support on issues and connections to government and other local decision makers,” he adds.
Vanthuyne strongly believes that companies should join the chamber for a variety of reasons.
“The chamber stands for local business. We need local businesses to join and engage to truly be a voice for businesses. From exposure at events and marketing— to the opportunities to meet with other business owners—the chamber is here to do the things we cannot do or don’t have the time to do on our own as business owners.”
Well said.

Resilience and growth
By Craig Baird
Tracing the evolution of the Greater Parkland Regional Chamber (GPRC)
The story of the Greater Parkland Regional Chamber (GPRC) is not the story of one organization, but that of three communities: Stony Plain, Spruce Grove, and Wabamun (Parkland County).
These municipalities may have started separately, but their prosperity would be linked through the decades. All three communities have origins that go back over a century, and all three owe a debt to the early organizations that helped them grow.
These three communities did not spring up out of nowhere. The land they sit on today is the traditional territory of the Cree people, who have inhabited the area for thousands of years.
Today, all three communities sit on Treaty 6 land.
DOG RUMP CREEK BECOMES STONY PLAIN
In the 1880s, John McPherson and Alex McNabb homesteaded on land near to where Stony Plain now sits. At the time, the area was known as Dog Rump Creek, in reference to the bend in the creek through Stony Plain that looks like a dog’s rump.
Trust me, every child growing up in town knows the original name of the community.
In those early settlement years, the area was heavily wooded with some open prairie. In 1892, John McDonald applied to create a post office, believing that there was potential for creating a community. He wanted to call the post office Stony Plain, but was told the area was called Spruce Grove, so he could not use the name. McDonald pleaded his case and stated only bachelors lived in Spruce Grove, while Stony Plain was a place for families.

Eventually, he succeeded through his persistence, and was allowed to call the new community Stony Plain. Over time, the ‘e’ was dropped from the name.
When McDonald donated land for the townsite of Stony Plain, he believed that the railroad would be built through it. There was good reason to think this. By 1905, his townsite had a general store, blacksmith shop, and hardware store.
The railroad wanted to make money on its own townsite, so it decided not to build through McDonald’s townsite. The railroad instead established their own townsite nearby near the end of 1905. The company built a station and connected it to the telegraph line.
The days for Old Stony Plain were numbered.
During the winter of 1905-06, the buildings of Old Stony Plain moved over the frozen ground with the help of teams of 20 horses.
In the new Stony Plain, the board of trade

did not take long to be established in the community. Board of trades were the early precursor to the modern chamber of commerce.
In 1911, the board of trade was mentioned in the Edmonton Journal in a story related to the unsatisfactory conditions for marketing hogs. At the time, the organization held meetings every Thursday at the town hall.
In 1915, R. Roberts was serving as the president of the organization, with I. Wright as vice-president and C.W. Rossell as the secretary-treasurer.
The Stony Plain Board of Trade existed for several years in Stony Plain. There is reference to it in the 1930s when the organization sponsored a boy scout troop in the community. The board of trade disappeared briefly but reemerged in April 1946 when S. Comisaron became the first president. The first meeting was held on May 7, 1946. That same year, the board of trade sent a telegram to Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King to urge him to establish a fact-finding board on farm prices.
SPRUCE GROVE BEGINS TO GROW
In the first decade of the 20th century, settlers arrived in the area and settled north of present-day Spruce Grove. There was no railroad at the time, and all goods were transported by wagon over the prairie.
Around 1903, near present-day Century Road and Highway 16, a Roman Catholic Church was built. Other buildings were soon built there as well, including a hotel, bar, general store, and several homes.
In 1906, near to this small settlement, another community sprang up named Spruce Grove Centre. This community existed only briefly before it disappeared.
The population of that original settlement around the church continued to grow and on March 14, 1907, it was incorporated into a village.
In 1912, the railway was built north and west of the church community. The residents of the old community realized they needed to move if they wanted to take advantage of the railway. With the railway surveying the location of Spruce Grove, the move was on.
The community was originally going to be named Stony Plain East, but this was denied, and Spruce Grove was used instead.
On July 26, 1912, the hotel was moved to the town location. Soon after, several other buildings moved. New buildings popped up, and with those buildings came the Spruce Grove Board of Trade.
The Spruce Grove Board of Trade was holding regular meetings as early as 1917. These meetings were held in the old Fairview Hotel.
In the 1920s, the board of trade continued to operate. On May 5, 1920, a news bulletin in the Edmonton Journal stated, “This is a real live organization, and many matters of local importance are being dealt with. Many of the members are interested in the formation of an automobile club in the district.”
As the 1920s moved into the difficult 1930s, the board of trade began to fade before it disappeared. But the business community was not to be without an organization for long.

Journeyman 1986
WABAMUN ALONG THE LAKE
The community of Wabamun sprang up a bit later than Spruce Grove and Stony Plain, but like those two communities, it owes its existence to the railroad.
The first post office was established at Wabamun Lake in 1903, and when the railroad arrived a few years later, homesteaders got off the train and began to put down roots. By 1910, enough people were living in the area that a church was built using logs local to the region.
On July 18, 1912, Wabamun was incorporated as a village. Within a few years, Wabamun Lake was a favourite destination for people coming from Edmonton, Stony Plain, and Spruce Grove. Dances every Saturday night were held in the open-air pavilion in the community.
The Wabamun Board of Trade sponsored those dances, as well as fishing derbies. As early as 1913, the Wabamun Board of Trade was doing what it could to promote the community.
In the Edmonton Journal on Dec. 5, 1913, it was stated of the Wabamun Board of Trade, “The president made a speech dealing with matters generally of interest to the town’s welfare, after which the meeting resolved itself into a committee of the whole to discuss the most important of these.”
THE CHAMBERS APPEAR
Every community begins with boards of trade. These organizations are the early boosters for the
community as they try to entice people to homestead. More people meant more business and growing prosperity for a community.
Along with taking out advertisements to promote their community in other newspapers, a board of trade also did what it could to improve the community itself. This included building playgrounds, raising funds for schools, and improving the business infrastructure of the municipality.
Eventually, in most communities, the board of trade morphed into a chamber of commerce. In some cases, the board of trade was long gone, and a new chamber was formed instead.
Wabamun was one of the first places in the area to start a chamber of commerce. Its chamber was formed in the Wabamun Community Hall in the mid-1940s. John Boos was chosen as the first president of the
organization, and a banquet was held after the first meeting.
Stony Plain started looking at forming its own chamber of commerce for the Stony Plain and Spruce Grove Districts in 1955. This led to the formation of the Hi-Way 16 West Chamber of Commerce.
This chamber served Winterburn, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Carvel, and Duffield. Murray Byers of Stony Plain was the first president of this chamber.
Covering such a large area made it difficult to manage the needs of all the communities that were part of the chamber during this era.
This led to the formation of individual chambers so that communities could focus more on themselves.
Henry McLeod was instrumental in the formation of the Spruce Grove Chamber of Commerce in September 1963. The first

The Greater Parkland Region loves the Chamber Plan
By Dean Chapman, Senior Benefits Advisor with Frontline Benefits Inc.
I, like many others, will always remember the day the world underwent a profound shift. Reflecting back, the week before holds a distinct memory – it was my birthday. My wife and I strolled through the grocery store, and I remember expressing, “You know, things have been going so well at work lately; I feel like something just
has to happen.” Little did I know, fate had its own plans. Fast forward to me, sitting at my desk, absorbing the news that all non-essential businesses needed to cease operations with the public. The directive was clear: everyone had to isolate and await further instructions.
As a benefits advisor, my initial assumption was that businesses
would cut back staff to a bare minimum, slash expenditures, and endure this unforeseen challenge. I braced myself, expecting a barrage of calls from business owners wanting to halt benefits immediately. What was meant to be a two-week isolation stretched into two years. Surprisingly, the feared calls were rare. Less than
42 GPRC Connect 2024
eight per cent of our clientele had cancelled their benefit plans during the entire two-year lockdown. It was an eye-opener – business owners showcased incredible resilience, and the services I provided held genuine significance. Across the board, employees favoured taking pay cuts over losing their benefits.
When business owners inquire about the right benefits for their staff, I don’t believe there’s a onesize-fits-all answer. As long as your benefits align with your industry, are effectively communicated to the staff, and there’s a reliable point of contact for inquiries, you have a solid plan. This is precisely why we wholeheartedly endorse the Chamber Benefit Plan.
For most small businesses, particularly those with under 50 staff, lacking an HR department is common. Often, the responsibility of managing the plan falls on the business owner. The Chamber Plan is tailored for precisely this scenario. It offers a straightforward solution with options to meet diverse employee needs and an administration portal that is not only easy to log into but also quick to grasp. Enrolling staff is a breeze with just a click of a button. Unlike many other plans, where rate increases are often tied to usage, the Chamber’s Plan offers a fully-pooled option for companies with less than 10 employees where increases are mainly linked to inflation. This ensures that your bottom line won’t be significantly impacted, offering
As long as your benefits align with your industry, are effectively communicated to the staff, and there’s a reliable point of contact for inquiries, you have a solid plan.
peace of mind as you plan for the future.
There are nearly 150 businesses in the Parkland region opting for the Chamber Benefit Plan, with several being loyal participants for over 20 years. We take pride in promoting the plan and contributing to this resilient community. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to connect with you soon!
