Oyen Chamber of Commerce hosts bi-monthly meeting

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.

The Chamber is planning on hosting a FREE pancake breakfast on Saturday, June 22, 2024 during the Bike/Hot Rod/Big Rig Rally from 8:00 am until 10:30 am in the parking lot outside Lijdsman Insurance.

We will also be hosting a FREE pancake breakfast on Saturday, July 13 during the Indoor Rodeo weekend from 8:00 am until 10:00 am.  This event will also be in the parking lot outside Lijdsman Insurance.  Everyone is welcome to attend; and don't forget to stick around for the parade which will start shortly after breakfast!

The Chamber members will be participating in the Meals on Wheels program during the month of June.

Kim Walker and Helene Nicholson have formed a Committee to help the community celebrate our businesses and the people who keep this community alive.  Stay tuned for more details and get ready to nominate your favourite business!

Betty Walker has been working hard on a Community Telephone Directory. If you have a business and you have not been contacted yet, please contact 403-664-1404 to ensure that you are included in the new directory which will be going to print very soon.
