Chamber Presents Candidates Forums November 8 and 9

2011 Kimberley Mayoral Forum

    Your Chamber initiated a new format for our candidates forums this year and your response has been overwhelmingly favourable.  Candidates for City Councilors were presented on Tuesday November 8 and the Mayors were profiled on Wednesday November 9.  Both groups participated in a "Candidates Market" prior to the formal proceedings.  It was a great opportunity to meet all the candidates in one place.

Our moderator was past Chamber vice president Ingrid Liepa.  On Wednesday the Mayors were interviewed "conversation style" by Paula Gordon - host of "Conversations With People at the Leading Edge" .  This was truly a highlight of the evening and we were able to get to know Mr. Ogilvie and Mr. McRae on a more personal level.  Thank you to Paula and her partner Bill Russell for your invaluable contribution to the success of the evening.

Both Candidates Forums were recorded and we have the Mayors Forum Ready for Viewing.  The Councilor Forum Video should be available the evening of November 17 on the same Youtube site.  Search 2011 Kimberley Councilor Forum.

Integra Air is Set to Expand Service

Cranbrook, BC (August 24, 2011) - Integra Air has revised its fall schedule from the Canadian Rockies International Airport to Edmonton International starting on September 19, 2011. The schedule is as follows:

 

  

The revision will increase service between the two communities to 4 days per week -- Monday to Thursday. The increased service will also see the addition of a direct flight from Lethbridge to Cranbrook only on Monday mornings at this time.   Service from Cranbrook to Lethbridge would still require routing through Edmonton.

"This is a very exciting and very positive announcement from Integra Air, and I wish to thank them for their support of this community and region," says City of Cranbrook Mayor Scott Manjak. "Continued growth in service and passenger numbers at the airport, reaffirms to our residents and visitors and certainly to me that our airport remains a very viable option in their travel plans."

Dave Macfarlane of Integra says, "The support of the folks of the entire Kootenay Region has been overwhelming. The number of passengers we are serving has been growing steadily, and we enjoy the two way communication that we have been able to build with a number of individuals and organizations. No doubt the 'work together' attitude that seems to be everywhere in the Columbia Valley will be the key to continued growth in frequency and capacity.

Integra Air indicated in their original service plan to the Canadian Rockies International Airport in the spring that should passenger loads continue to grow, as they have been, the company would look at additional service expansion to 5 days per week for the winter season.   Integra would also look at capacity increases by introducing a larger aircraft to service the route if demand supports the additional capacity.

  

Tristen Chernove, Managing Director at the Canadian Rockies International Airport adds "I've been very happy to see the loads pick up over the past six weeks. Adding additional frequency and modifying the flight times due to feedback received shows great commitment and responsiveness from Integra Air."
