On December 12th, 2013 the Prince Albert & District Chamber of Commerce hosted the annual Christmas networking social. It was a great opportunity to enjoy great food at the Prince Albert Golf & Curling Club and visit with members of the Chamber of Commerce.
A Message from the CEO~ Merle Lacert Hello Members Happy New year everyone!! May the New Year hold great promise to see our regional business’s strengthen, prosper & grow. 2013 was a good year for our Region, we saw much growth through new business startups. The Chamber made significant efforts to maintain and create new relationships, that will serve us well as we look to increase growth through collaboration. The City of Prince Albert also underwent much change , and is completing the staffing of several key City of Prince Albert positions. The Chamber would like to extend a huge welcome to our new City Manager Jim Toye – Welcome to Prince Albert!! , we look forward to your efforts to build upon our strengths and look forward to any positive contributions that the Chamber may be able to assist with. With the New Year, the Chamber will also continue to focus on its priorities, similar to last year; Labour, Infrastructure and Taxes, top off our list of priorities. We also look forward to expanding our collaborations even further, and are quite excited about the opportunities to see our Region fully engaged in growth, that is better representative of the growth occurring in other regions of our Province. Best wishes, for the new Year!! Merle Lacert CEO
