Chair’s Message

CHAIR’S MESSAGE

Swing Into Fall

September and October tend to feel like the most chaotic months of the year. It seems like the second we go from July to August there’s a switch that’s flipped where we must acknowledge that we’re past the halfway point of summer. Then there’s the mad dash to do as much as possible in August and the first week of September we’re peppered with events, a full office again, and prepping kids for school and sports.

What certainly stands out this September and October compared to the last couple years is the full steam ahead mindset when it comes to events, fundraisers, and networking. It can be a bit exhausting going straight into busy evenings through the week, but it certainly is a good sign of how far we’ve gotten. Seeing busy patios, packed events by the river, and catching up with people to share trips that they got to do is certainly a nice change. Hopefully you weren’t one of the unlucky folks with airline issues, and if you were I hope good memories were still made this summer!

Even though we’re past the best weather, the amount of construction still clogging up your commute to work should tell you that we still aren’t in winter yet at least. For me what always softens the blow of summer ending is sports coming back. If we’re going to be forced inside soon then at least we’ll have good entertainment with the NFL a month in already (Go Steelers!) and hockey and basketball soon to come too.

As we begin this fall season, it is important to share that October is small business month! As much as I encourage and appreciate getting away in the summer, fall can be a way to ground us a bit and turn our attention back to home. As a Chamber and business community we can’t say it enough how important small businesses are to our community. They’re the logos you see on your kid’s jersey, the sponsors of the networking events, and the driver of our economy here. Be sure to have them top of mind of course all year round but this month in particular!

At the Chamber we’re doing our best to highlight some of these fantastic Saskatoon businesses through our SABEX Awards on October 13th. If you haven’t been out the past couple years, then certainly consider committing to the night this time around. The finalists are already announced and there are so many great groups being recognized already. Take the time to look them up and if you see a business that you know be sure to come support them the night of! Image: Gina’s Portraits Lastly, at the time of writing this, it is the week of Truth and Saskatoon Chamber Board Chair Colton WiegersReconciliation/Orange Shirt Day. It is great to see that the activities for the day can go like just a few years. There is still a lot of ahead as planned without any weather work to be done and our board and the issues like in June. The amount of support Chamber staff are certainly working hard from the business community and the to make sure it stays top of mind. I look city has been inspiring to see. In all my forward to joining the walk and hopefully time on the board, the topic of Truth and seeing a lot of our members out there Reconciliation has transformed from land as well! acknowledgments at the odd event to something much bigger in what seems

Sincerely,

As a Chamber and business community we can’t say it enough how important small businesses are to our community. They’re the logos you see on your kid’s jersey, the sponsors of the networking events, and the driver of our economy here.

We are proud member of the Chamber. Being a new upstart business, with its first location opening in Saskatoon during the pandemic, we felt it imperative to forge connections to the city’s business community and join a network of connection and support that the Chamber represents. Our business plans, including expansion to the downtown core in 2023 added urgency to us having a conduit of connection present and available. This project has met with much fanfare from the community, with the city finally realizing its downtown grocery store after so many years without. Having such robust support from the Chamber has been invaluable. We value the relationships, access to talent and knowledge, and the partnership of this great organization.
