I have always been a strong supporter of the Chamber of Commerce being a past 2 term President in Brooks. I was disappointed when the local Chamber closed and thrilled when Medicine Hat stepped in and took on our area under the umbrella of the Southeast Alberta Chamber of Commerce. The Staff and Executive Director have proven already to be valuable contacts, sharing information that will benefit my business offering discount opportunities that I didn't realize existed including Purolator rate reductions which I signed up for. Anytime a small business can cut expenses it is a plus. Good work everyone and thank you for your energy and expertise that Brooks needs. I look forward to participating further in 2025.
