The Parkland Chamber of Commerce kicks off its 2024 lunch series next week.
Executive Director Stephen Chychota says next Tuesday's event will include a sneak peek of upcoming announcements regarding immigration and the local labour market.
"We have been working with municipalities in the area on a strategic initiative regarding a proactive approach to bringing in skilled immigrants to our region to fill up vacancies in some of the sectors that we have here. We are going to be launching that in the next little while, and we have a special guest coming out next weekend to unveil that program to everyone."
Chychota adds they will also share details about their 2023 Chamber International trip to Portugal.
"We are going to bring a little bit of that Portugal culture and talk about the trip. We really have not had a platform all that well to be able to share with everyone how it went and how it looked and stuff. So I am going to go into that during the first part of the lunch. And then we are going to be announcing the 2024 trip, which will be happening later this fall."
Everyone who attends will receive a special gift from that international trip.
The lunch will take place from 11:45 to 1 pm at the Watson Arts Centre.
Tickets are $20 for chamber members, and $30 for nonmembers, and are available online at parklandchamber.ca.
