receives federal shop local funds from the federal government. Brooks, Alberta (June 25, 2021) – The Brooks & District Chamber of Commerce will receive $34,560 of federal shop local funding—funding that will expand the chamber’s ongoing efforts to encourage patronage of community businesses. “We have been working for months with the Alberta Chamber on ways we can all assist our businesses in our communities. Thanks to our diligent work with the Alberta Chamber and the financial support through the Federal Government, we can now launch a provincial marketplace for our businesses. This is a game changer for our province and businesses. We now have a way to assist our businesses in competing with large online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay.” says Margaret Plumtree, Executive Director. “We are currently working on our Business App which will promote our businesses, providing incentives for residents and travelers to stop, visit, purchase and repeat. Finally, our Love Rural Business Program will highlight our incredibly vast array of businesses that make the Brooks Region unique and worth visiting more than once. This is the kind of programs that can only be accomplished through hard work, commitment, and advocacy with partnerships. We are so proud to provide our businesses the recourses and tools to keep them sustainable, relevant and prosperous.” Margaret Plumtree, Executive Director of the Brooks & District Chamber of Commerce. The funding will support the Alberta Chamber Market, The Chamber Experience Brooks Region Business App and Incentive Program and our Love Rural Business Program. “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, community chambers have truly been a lifeline for businesses,” says Ken Kobly, Alberta Chambers of Commerce President and CEO. “As we transition to reopening and recovery, we still have a long road ahead to rebuild our economy. This federal funding will help chambers do what we do best: support local job creators.” A second round of funding applications is currently being processed.
