Have You Considered Joining?

As a valued member of our local business community, I am reaching out to you on behalf of the Blackfalds & District Chamber of Commerce to share a heartfelt plea for your involvement.

Our community is at a pivotal moment, facing both unprecedented opportunities and challenges. The Blackfalds & District Chamber of Commerce, plays a vital role in steering the course of our local business environment, and now, more than ever, we need dedicated individuals like you to join the Blackfalds Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.

We find ourselves in a situation where the need for passionate advocates for our local businesses has never been greater. The success and vibrancy of our community depend on the collective efforts of individuals willing to invest their time, energy, and expertise. The Chamber's Board of Directors is the driving force behind the initiatives that propel our community forward, and your unique perspective and talents can make a significant difference.

 We understand that commitments are numerous, and time is a precious commodity. However, we want to emphasize that the commitment required is minimal compared to the potential impact it can have on our community. Monthly meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm, offering the flexibility of both in-person and virtual attendance. Your involvement, no matter how small, will contribute to the collective strength of our community. 

Our next AGM is in May of 2024 where will need to vote in the new Executive. We have several current Executive Members whom can not stay in their current positions. We urge you to come to our next monthly meeting and see if you think joining the Blackfalds Chamber might be the right fit for you. 

Thank you for considering this plea for volunteers. Your dedication to the success of our community means the world to us, and we are hopeful that you will heed this call to action.

If you have any questions please reach out to us through email at blackfaldschamber@outlook.com

The impact of Ronald McDonald House Charities across our communities is far-reaching. Today, 1 in 4 Canadians have either stayed at RMHC or know someone who has. Across the country, the RMHC network of programs enables access to Canada’s 16 specialty children’s hospitals for families who must travel to access medical care for their sick or injured child. The 16 Ronald McDonald Houses provide out-of-town families with a home to stay at while their child is being treated at a nearby hospital, while the 18 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms provide a comfortable place for families to rest and recharge, right inside hospitals. Yet the need continues to grow. Today, RMHC across Canada is unable to support 4 out of 5 families who need their support due to lack of space.

One of the most exclusive benefits for chamber members is Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan employee benefits.

A bit of background: Chambers Plan is Canada’s number one employee benefits plan for small businesses. The Plan is also a not-for-profit, with ALL surpluses staying in the program to help control premiums and provide stability — something we could all use right about now.

Protecting you and your employees is easy. The first step is to get a free quote. There are no industry restrictions or minimum company sizes, so a YES to these questions means you could benefit from Chambers Plan:

1. “Do you have 1 to 35 employees?”

Chambers Plan offers guaranteed coverage for small businesses with 1 to 35 employees.

2. “Could you and your employees make use of group benefits?”

When you and your employees are on Chambers Plan, you get full, free access to many health and wellness services including:

●    Teladoc Health, an online care provider that connects you with a doctor from the comfort of your own home

●    Business Assistance Service (consultations with professional accounting, counselling, legal and human resource experts who understand the challenges faced by small business owners),

●    My-benefits health (health and wellness resource site for all employees provided through Chambers Plan’s online benefit management platform)

3. “Would you like me to connect you with our local advisor for a quick and easy, free quote?”

Chambers Plan engages local advisors to help chamber members determine if Chambers Plan is the right fit for them. If you’re interested in getting more information about the Plan, reply to this email and we’ll get your free quote started right away.

Our chamber is committed to offering businesses incredible value for their membership — that includes Chambers Plan and so many more benefits. To see how else you can take advantage of the chamber’s programs, visit our website Blackfalds Chamber
