The Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce has partnered with several Sooke Region organizations and businesses to bring the community a series of presentations to help prepare everyone for the Provincial election on May 9th.
Government 101 is a beginner’s guide or refresher talk on the structure of government, the different roles and titles, commonly used terms, and other topics many feel they should know but perhaps don’t.
The
All Candidates Forum will feature candidates from different parties sharing what is important to them, the changes they promise to bring, and ultimately why they should get your vote. All sessions will include a question & answer period.
April 25, 7:00 pm Prestige Oceanfront Resort
Visit the Sooke Region Chamber Events webpages for details.
We encourage you to print the Election Series Poster to display in your place of business for your customers and employees to see as these are public meetings, and are open to all.
Our 2017 Board of Directors wants to connect with members and has opened the remaining monthly regular Board meetings to members and the business community at large to pose questions, provide insight and feedback and to help shape and guide the Chamber.
Meetings are held every 3rd Tuesday of each month, starting at 6:30 pm in the main floor boardroom at the Prestige Oceanfront Resort.
Our next Regular Board Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 18 at The Uncommon Carrot at 6:30 pm. Agenda to follow.
* 17TH ANNUAL BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARDS *
"Guys, and gals, this is my third year working on this event and can I share something with you? This business community is awesome. You work hard, day in and day out, you support each other, you give generously to the community and you do it all with very little recognition or thanks.
You entrepreneurs and philanthropists are a crazy bunch. You are. You have to be. You have a dream or you see a need and you decide to lay it all out on the line to make it happen. Sometimes success is swift, most times it is a long uphill battle. I commend you all for choosing this path.
Can I share something else with you that I have noticed?"
Do you have any special events coming up? We want to hear from you and help spread the word in our monthly e-newsletters.
The Sooke Region Chamber is here to support our members and their initiatives. If you have an event coming up in Sooke that you would like to let other members know about, please send us the details in advance with a link and/or PDF, PNG or JPG image and we will do our best to include your event information or link in next month's e-news. Our e-newsletters are typically distributed during the first half of each month so please send us the info by the end of the month.
We encourage everyone to share our e-newsletter to all those who may be interested in receiving information and updates from our Chamber, regardless of membership. Simply click on the button below and share away!
