The Chamber of Commerce had their bi-monthly meeting on May 15, 2024 at the FCSS Youth Centre. Cynti from Bakers Dozen provided a wonderful lunch of soup, sandwiches, and dessert for all those in attendance.

Helene Nicholson, Regional Development Coordinator of the Community Foundation of Southeastern Alberta provided an update to the membership regarding the Prairie Crocus Fund and the Lanfine Wind Grant. If you are a non-profit organization that is in need of funding for a specific project, please make sure to contact Helene and she can help you through the intake process.
