These measures were scheduled to be eased on Aug. 16, however, this six-week pause will provide additional time to monitor severe outcomes of COVID-19 and increase the immunization rates. Learn more.

GROW YOUR BUSINESS ONLINE WITH SUPPORT FROM YOUR LOCAL CHAMBER!

Whether you have an existing business or are just starting one, eCommerce will be an important part of your business plan. Millions of small businesses in North America have added eCommerce as a sales channel in 2020-2021. While most of these were added as a direct
response to the pandemic, it is clear that eCommerce is growing and is here to stay.

We are extremely excited to be partnering with the Alberta Chambers of Commerce to develop and launch an e-commerce platform called airdrie.chambermarket.ca, that will support local businesses and encourage spending in our community instead of foreign e-commerce stores such as Amazon. Think of it as the mall of Airdrie, online!
