The Executive Director of the Parkland Chamber of Commerce says 2024 saw their organization ramp up their work in creating more supports and systems for businesses across the Parkland region.
Stephen Chychota says that work started on a great note early in the year with the introduction of the Immigrate Parkland program.
"We really saw some tremendous results out of that, and not knowing exactly where we were going with that, you have these hopes and dreams, and I think we had some learning along the way, and now we have shown that success. And, the province has told us to run with it and do what we got to do."
Chychota adds they hope to further expand that program in 2025 and see how much further it can go.
Other highlights of the year included their Lunch & Learn series, Street Fair to kick off CNUF weekend, and their international trip to Costa Rica - which saw a larger attendance than their original international trip in 2023.
