The Voice of Business Since 1909

A Message from the President

2008 – A new year, new challenges and a new Board of Directors eager to carry out the Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce’s many programs and community events. We are the Voice of Business ~ a voice made up of many members from various industries and diverse interests.

We have a big year ahead ~ the continuation of the Business, Retention & Expansion Project (BR&E) with Community Development Officer Cassandra Parise, Strategic Planning Session lead by Geoff Gillon of the Rainy River Future Development Corporation (RRFDC) in March, the Home & Leisure Show in May, our Annual Deck Party held in mid May at La Place Rendez-Vous in partnership with the RRFDC who will hilite their Customer Service Winners, Quest for the Best in July, and our 14th Annual Business Awards Banquet in early November. The Chamber also hopes to partner with the RRFDC and the Clover Valley Farmers Market with the second Annual Harvest Dinner, tentatively set for October.

The Chamber will continue to promote and nurture various partnerships as well as lobby various levels of government, in conjunction with its regional, provincial and federal counterparts.

Its an exciting year for Fort Frances ~ construction at AbitibiBowater, a new CT Scanner at La Verendrye General Hospital, 'Building for the Future' at the Fort Frances Public Library, and the next phase of the Museum Heritage Tourism Project kicking into high gear ~ we have much to be proud of!

Check out our website, read our brochures, stop by our office ~ learn what we can do for you. Chamber Manager Dawn Booth, along with Community Development Officer Cassandra Parise, would be pleased to provide information on our programs and member benefits, as well as tourist information for those looking to visit this beautiful place we call home!

I’d like to thank the individuals who have volunteered, and will be volunteering their time as Directors to serve on the Chamber Board. It is their involvement and contributions that will make 2008 another successful year for the Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and remember ~ we are The Voice of Business, in Fort Frances and the Rainy River District!
