Chamber holding candidate’s reception for members
The Battlefords Chamber of Commerce is holding a candidate’s reception for members of the Chamber.
On Wednesday Oct. 19 at 7 p.m., members of the chamber and employees will be able to attend a program at the Chamber of Commerce building where the North Battleford and Battleford candidates can speak on issues and interact with the chamber.
Chamber Executive Director Linda Machniak said administrators decided not to hold a public forum this municipal election because it is the third election in the last year.
“Part of the decision was made as a result of having just gone through a provincial and a federal campaign in the last 12 months. Those are significant events for us to put on so we decided we’d step it back a bit and do a bit more business focused event at the Chamber of Commerce,” she said.
