Renew Your Membership

November is the month that we ask you to renew your Chamber memberships for another year and invite new members to join and support each other and their community. We'll be emailing renewal applications to existing members and ask that you return the applications as soon as you can. You can also renew on-line by clicking here. You can post-date your cheques to December if necessary. Our annual dinner/elections is in January and your membership fee includes the cost of this event. We've been comparing membership fees with other local Chambers and our fees are substantially lower so we encourage you to join (and you can write off the fee as a business expense!).
