CEO's Corner
Networking opportunities are abundant, and like the dandelions, are popping up around town. Our Chamber of Commerce provides ample selection for using your natural networking skills and lots of support and introductions for those new to mixing and meeting.
Business After Hours offers hundreds of business faces and new connections, so set a personal goal to meet a dozen new people each event. The Chamber's helpful staff and Ambassador team of business volunteers will be waiting at each event to introduce you to some new contacts and get you started on a fun and valuable evening.

Message from the Mayor
The new Citizen Survey is one of the best tools we have to build the community's priorities into Council's priorities for the next three years.
The City of Kelowna is constantly in communication with individual segments of the population on specific plans and projects. But the opportunity to
take in a wide-angle view of reaction from the entire community only comes along every time we do a Citizen Survey.

Canadian Chamber Tackling Barriers to Business
The Canadian Chamber is continuing with the initiative to boost Canadian competitiveness in response to findings of the top 10 barriers facing businesses from across Canada. The skills shortage has been identified as the largest barrier, a barrier which has been echoed in Kelowna during our talks to local businesses.
 The Canadian Chamber is encouraging engagement, and looking for your input through a series of surveys, this current survey is on older workers and people with disabilities. Over the next year, the Chamber will be developing tools to find a solution to the barriers facing Canadian Business.
