2020 may have been a year that many would like to forget, but there were certainly some parts worth celebrating. Check out our Year In Review video for some highlights from your local Chamber of Commerce.

Do you have questions about CEBA, CEWS, CERS, or the SME Relaunch Grant? The Leduc & Wetaskiwin Chamber of Commerce hosted a helpful roundtable session with MNP and King Accounting Solutions on December 16, going over these financial aid programs, and answering questions from businesses and Chambers about them.

With the increased cases, and new Public Health Orders being introduced, we understand that Alberta businesses have been greatly impacted. Through these difficult times, I will be hosting a series of (Industry Specific) Telephone Town Halls with Alberta businesses so our government can hear directly from you. Register with links below.

We will answer your questions about the new restrictions, the spread of COVID-19 and talk about ways that you can operate safely, and help limit the spread, keeping Albertans safe. We will also answer any questions you have about Alberta’s Recovery Plan and how government can continue to provide support during these difficult times.

Please also keep the participant information document that provides you with instructions about joining the call including dial in numbers to have with you if needed.
