Well done Blackfalds and Participating Businesses! Another successful Passport to Christmas!!

A Note to Our Participating Businesses regarding Blackfalds Bucks - IMPORTANT!

Please review with your employees as to how to treat the Blackfalds Bucks.

How the Blackfalds Bucks work:

They are a cash equivalent.
Treat them like cash and give real cash back if the purchase is less than the buck amount.
Contact us for reimbursement of the bucks. We generally give cash for amounts less than $200 and a cheque if over that amount.
You can save up the bucks and contact us or submit as you collect them, totally up to you!
The bucks are NOT a legal tender and do NOT go into your deposit.

HOW TO REDEEM:

1. Contact the Chamber by email if you require an amount over $200.00

2. Go to Ing & McKee Insurance and our President, Kevin Hallet will reimburse you for the smaller amounts.

We recommend you email him first to see if he is available to see you at khallet@ingandmckee.com

FINAL DRAW WINNERS!

Each winner took home $500 in Blackfalds Bucks each!

The Final Four Draws took place December 22nd.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce

EVENT

January 15, 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. ET

Canadian businesses are facing uncertain and challenging times. COVID-19 has had a devastating financial impact, and business owners continue to face new risks and challenges.

When it comes to commercial insurance, many business owners are seeing their premiums rise and may be finding it increasingly difficult to get the appropriate insurance to meet their needs in certain regions. While there are no easy solutions to the problem, Canada’s insurers are pulling together to find creative solutions to support businesses across all sectors in accessing the insurance they need.

Pete Karageorgos, Insurance Bureau of Canada’s Director of Consumer and Industry Relations (Ontario), will present some of the key economic dynamics affecting Canada’s property and casualty insurers, how the industry, governments and businesses are working in partnership to address the current challenges, and more importantly, tools and resources IBC and insurers are providing to support Canadian businesses.

We encourage you to submit any questions you might have during the registration process.
