Our next Business After Hours networking event has been scheduled! Join us Wednesday, April 20th from 6-8 pm at Drum Wireless for an opportunity to chat with other members of the business community. Business After Hours is free to attend, we simply ask that you RSVP so we can ensure there is enough food. Drum Wireless will be providing some delicious appies and wine from Sublime!

What is Business After Hours? Social mixers which provide networking opportunities for the business community. While primarily social in nature, Business After Hours is also a great opportunity for businesses to bring people into their places of business and showcase their products, services and facilities. Too often we are not fully aware of everything that our local businesses have to offer. All members of the business community are welcome, large or small, employer or employee.

Please join us for the 5th Annual Women in Business Mixer! This event is a great opportunity for women in the Drumheller area to network and makes valuable business connections.

It starts at  5:30 pm on Thursday, June 16. The location changes each year so that we can highlight the great variety of event venues in our area; this year it will take place at Davis Proproom Lounge, which has a new outdoor patio! We'll start the evening with a quick game (including prizes!) and then enjoy some tasty apple platters.

Tickets are $15.00 each including GST and can be purchased online here or by contacting Marley via email or at 403-823-8100.

Recently there have been discussions about hosting a Pheasant Festival in the Drumheller area in the spring of 2017 (March). Other communities in southern Alberta have hosted similar events – Stettler and Taber. New for 2016, the Highway 41 Pheasant Festival will take place in the Oyen/Consort area. This type of event has the potential to bring hundreds of participants to the host community.

The Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce has been asked to gauge local interest from the business community in hosting this type of event in the Drumheller area. Click here to complete the survey.

Have time for one more short survey?

In an effort to continually enhance the value of membership for our Chamber members, we are currently looking into the creation of a Member 2 Member (M2M) discount program. The aim of this program would be to encourage local shopping and business-to-business interactions within the community. We would like to gauge the interest of the business community in this type of program and have prepared a short (3 questions) survey. If you have a moment, please complete the survey here. We appreciate your input.
