This issue of Business Bits will catch you up on strategic Chamber initiatives, events, and supportive resources for our valued businesses and members.
Membership Renewal – 2024 October 01
Please renew your membership! At our September meeting we were excited to welcome new member Rob Sawchuk, Owner, Turkey & Pistols. He’s got a real groovy shop in town and is getting all sorts of new people in every day. “People are coming from all over the world to visit Bragg Creek. This is their destination. It’s cool that we’ve got this weird little thing happening here.”
