Thank you to those who have put forward their names to help give our businesses the voice they deserve to make. Registration for the AGM is open now on the Chamber website www.weyburnchamber.com.

The Weyburn Chamber of Commerce is hosting their 10th WEYBEX Awards on April 28th, 2023. This event was created to recognize and celebrate achievements in business excellence for Weyburn and surrounding businesses. We are asking you, our Chamber Members, to think of nominating a business that you feel is deserving of recognition. This year there are 5 award categories: New and/or Expanded Business, Golden Service, Community Involvement, Business Hall of Fame and Business Leader of the Year. Nominations close March 21st, 2023, and you can find nominations packages on the website at www.weyburnchamber.com.
The Government of Saskatchewan will be releasing the budget for the 2023/24 fiscal year on March 23rd. With collaboration from the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce and other Chambers across Saskatchewan we will be watching the details and voice any concerns, questions or comments that will directly impact our business community.
In the coming weeks we will be seeking your participation in a survey to help us understand what our future investment opportunities are in our community. This survey will be coming through a third-party facilitator to compile the information that we are seeking. Your input to help our economic development and growth plays an important role.
We encourage you to attend our events this upcoming year and provide any feedback by email to manager@weyburnchamber.com, call 306-842-4738 or feel free to stop into the Chamber office at 11 3rd St., Weyburn.
