The Kimberley & District Chamber of Commerce President, Rachelle
Langlois, responded: “The release of the 2019 BC Budget coincided nicely with
the arrival of BC Chamber representatives in Kimberley Wednesday morning. Along
with the member benefits presentation we had scheduled, our Chamber was able to
hear about the BC Chamber’s thoughts and direction regarding the new budget.”
“We are pleased with the support the BC Chamber is showing towards
small and medium sized business owners who are the economic drivers in our
small communities. We were also
encouraged by the participation of the Kimberley business community members, as
having a strong Chamber will ensure we have the voice necessary to continue to
have the ear of these influential policy makers.”
“Gathering feedback from the business community is one of our primary
goals in the next few months, along with increasing our Chamber
membership. We want to hear from our
businesses to ensure our Chamber is effectively representing their needs, not
just on a local or community level, but also at regional and provincial levels
as well since this budget will directly impact our members.”
