Mark Your 2022 Calendars!
Join us each month for our new series that helps all of us carve out time to WORK ON our business instead of just working in the day to day busy-ness.

Our Survey Results identified that the #1 area respondents wanted to work on was Marketing, Social Media and Online Presence. So we will be starting our series off with a conversation about Marketing followed by some workshops where we dive in and get to planning and doing!

Wednesday, January 19 from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm.
Please email admin@sochamber.ca to receive the Zoom Link.

Troy Lucas and Denise Blashko from the Chamber will be joined by Matt Dion from Mintent Agency to share some tips, ideas and resources to help you take charge of your marketing in 2022.

We are happy to share that we are bringing back our Friday Coffee Connections! A great opportunity to make a few new connections, hear from other businesses in the South Okanagan, as well as we will share Chamber updates and relevant news and events.

Friday, January 28 from 8:30 - 9:30 am

Chamber Week is around the corner and that also means that it is Advocacy and Policy time for more than 120 Chambers and Boards of Trade across the province.

Every year, local chambers and boards of trade—develop policies that reflect the needs of B.C. businesses.  

Through our grassroots policy process our membership endorses approximately 70 new policies every year at our BC Chamber Annual General Meeting. The breadth and diversity of our policies reflects our broad-based membership—in any given year we have policy recommendations for almost all B.C.’s provincial government ministries. 

These recommendations serve as our road map—once approved our policies are ‘on the books’ for three years. They inform our pan-provincial advocacy efforts and the advocacy efforts of local chambers for regional-specific issues.  Visit the BC Chamber of Commerce website to learn more and see what Policies we are advocating for.

And please reach out to Denise at manager@sochamber.ca to bring forward any issues or challenges or policies that you would like to see addressed.
