On Thursday, August 10th the Weyburn Chamber held their annual Linked on the Links Golf tournament. Despite the rainy morning the clouds broke just in time to enjoy a great lunch put on by Whitecap Resources. 61 golfers enjoyed the day of 18-holes of golf, networking, and finished the day off with a steak supper and prizes. Thank you to all our event sponsors and to those who joined us for a day on the course.
I would like to thank the team from the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce for joining our Chamber on July 18th. The Sask Chamber did a road trip to various chambers around Saskatchewan, visiting with board members and touring the cities. Our Executive Director, Monica, took the 4 members out to Whitecap Resources and they had an engaging presentation from Darcy Cretin. In attendance was Prabha Ramaswamy, CEO; Paula Welke, CMO; Virginia Wilkinson, COO, and Jordan Ewart, Director of Policy and Research.
