Strong Chamber Strong Community

As most may know, the Prince Albert & District Chamber of Commerce is the largest business based organization in our region.  We are a membership based organization, independent of all levels of government.   We strive to be the Voice of Business, to serve, protect and promote our members.  We offer advocacy, advertising, networking, marketing and information to our members, as well as other products and services, such as access to Chamber group benefits.


What some may not be aware of is, that the Prince Albert & District Chamber of Commerce also looks to become educated and engaged on many other sectors that can greatly affect not only the business community, but our community as a whole.  These sectors include; Health, Education, Labour force, and polices, bylaws or Acts that stem from National, Provincial and Municipal governments. Our engagement and collaboration on these areas helps us to build not only a strong chamber, but a strong Community.

We have a strong interest in engaging our members, to ensure we understand current business concerns, Community needs, as well as to look to assist in identifying regional priorities, so we can assist in growing a healthy vibrant community & region.  The chamber is a network, which operates on several levels; locally we look to support our members and assist in creating opportunities for networking, marketing, advocacy and more.  Provincially, we work with the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce to engage on matters that are relevant to not only our community but our province as well.  Nationally, we work with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce on matters that affect Canada, IE. The current labour shortages across Canada, as well as use our chamber networks to pursue policy changes at the national level.

I encourage everyone to get involved with the Chamber, if you are not familiar with the Chamber, then I encourage you to contact us to see how we may be able to assist your business or how some of our current initiatives may  align with your current interests.
