Dear Chamber Members,

It is difficult for me to believe that my year as President has already come to an end. It is time to lookback over the past year and review some of what we have achieved together. I want to thank theBoard of Directors for their support and involvement in Chamber activities. I particularly want to thankthe staff of the Chamber of Commerce; Kara, Jamie, Sara, Cheryl, Bob and the Executive Director of theChamber, Todd Banks.

Our membership has continued to grow this past year. This membership growth was accomplishedduring an economic cycle that saw many other chambers across Canada remain static or realize adecrease in membership.

One of the many highlights of the year was being invited to the Prime Minister’s office to discuss theenergy paper that our Chamber and membership contributed to in a significant way with input andsponsorship.

Another great achievement occurred this past May when our Chamber was recognized by the AlbertaChamber of Commerce as the “2010 Chamber of the Year”. Congratulations to our entire membership as your support, belief andparticipation helped us acquire this great achievement.

The backbone of the Chamber is the tremendous group of volunteers that work countless hours behind the scenes to make Chamberevents a success. The participation of the membership adds immensely to the local community. Thank you for all of your hard work.

The most recent example of volunteer commitment and outstanding work by the Chamber staff was the Canada Day parade. Sofrequently, we have been lucky enough to have great weather for the event and this year was no exception. When you take a look atall of the children involved in the parade and on the sidewalks watching it all go by, it really seems worth it. A huge thank you goes outto the Sherwood Park Mall for allowing us to use their parking lot for organization of the participants! Congratulations to those whowon in their categories.

On October 22, we celebrated business here in Strathcona County. It was my distinct pleasure to recognize Stewart, Weir & Co. Ltd. as“Business of the Year” and Broadmoor Stationers & Copy Center Ltd. with the “Long Term Service” award. Please read further into thisnewsletter to see all the recipients of the 2010 Business Awards.

Our largest event of the year is the Great Canadian Trade Fair and Sale. This year was another huge success with 315 exhibitor boothsand 16,075 visitors to see what our business community had to offer for goods and services in the community. The free communitystage was once again very well attended and there were several great performances/events such as the Fashion Show, Talent Contestand the Baby Crawl.

Thank you to the Mayor and Council and all of the County staff for all that they do to support the Chamber, encourage local businesses,and promote this community.

It was our privilege to have such an extensive and impressive list of candidates for this year’s Board elections. We have a strong Boardfor the coming year, and we hope those who ran and were not elected will try again, as we had more candidates than we had spotsto fill.

It has been a tremendous opportunity and a great privilege to lead the Chamber in the past year. In closing, I would like to say thankyou to the membership for your belief and support for myself and the Board over the past year. I know Peter Court and his Board willdo a great job representing you, the membership over the next year.

Please continue to read through this “Year in a Glance” paper for more of the great programs, services and events that your Chamberprovides for its membership and this great community!

Sincerely,Greg Douglas
