Bow Island & Burdett District Chamber of Commerce

2025 Year-End Review

As we conclude 2025, the Bow Island & Burdett District Chamber of Commerce would like to extend our sincere thanks to all members, volunteers, and community partners. Your involvement this year has helped strengthen our local business community and continues to build positive momentum for the future of our region.

Highlights From This Year

Throughout 2025, the Chamber proudly hosted and supported a variety of events that brought businesses and residents together, including:

• Market in the Park summer events

• Christmas Markets and holiday community activities

• Shop Local Christmas Draws, currently underway to encourage holiday shopping within our community

• Small Business Trade Show, showcasing local entrepreneurs and supporting business growth

 These initiatives would not be possible without the dedication and support of our members. Thank you for your continued commitment to strengthening our local business community.

Provincial Representation & Advocacy

 This year, we were pleased to send representation to the Alberta Chamber Conference, ensuring that Bow Island and Burdett have a voice at the provincial level. Attending these discussions helps us stay informed, advocate for our region, and bring back valuable insights to support our members and our local economy.

Revitalizing the Chamber for 2026

 As we look toward the new year, revitalizing and expanding our Chamber remains a top priority. We are actively seeking individuals to join the Chamber Executive Committee. If you are passionate about supporting local businesses, community development, and new initiatives, we invite you to get involved. Strong leadership and fresh perspectives will guide the Chamber toward continued success.
