A big thank you to our hosts at the Canalta Hotel for welcoming us and helping create the perfect space to connect.

"The Airdrie Regional Chamber of Commerce is a great group to be associated with for business owners in the city. Although I've only been there a short time there's lots of people to network with and learn from. Meetings and group events are not too long and at convenient times which make attending more enjoyable. It's a cool way to meet other people in Airdrie you may otherwise not run into. It's certainly worth checking out if you've been on the fence on whether or not to give it a try!!"
