The noon-hour events, held in concert with the Bank of Montreal, were aimed at Grade 7 students and provided the students with common sense information on how to manage and save money.
Also at the meeting, there was some discussion about the Saskatchewan Chamber Conference on Business that will happen May 5 and 6 in Regina.
Locally the Battlefords Chamber Business Golf Challenge is planned for Friday, May 22 at North Battleford Golf and Country Club. Teams of four are invited to participate in the challenge. Register by contacting the Battlefords Chamber.
The changes at Destination Battlefords and their new Everything Under the Sun slogan was mentioned. Director Bill Volk updated the other directors on the signage that is being placed at locations across the Battlefords, which include a two-month calendar of events on the back.
Also, it was mentioned a major event, the Good Sam Club of Saskatchewan’s Samboree, will be coming to the Battlefords Ag Society June 10-14. The event is expected to attract more than 200 RVs to the area and provide a significant economic boost to the region.
Finally, there was considerable discussion at the meeting about the new false alarm bylaw passed recently at North Battleford City Hall, and the implications for business.
