Projects in the natural resource sector are often so large they require a number of companies to collaborate to ensure success, and the structure of these massive collaborations can be particularly important in the unique context of working with aboriginal communities.

Join us for a panel discussion exploring the actions that are critical to success, as well as the tangible dos and don’ts for how these industry collaborations should be structured, and how companies can work together to deliver the right type of benefits to the Aboriginal community they’re working with.

Post-flood Chamber member spotlight: Savour Fine Foods & Kitchenware

Post-flood Chamber member spotlight: Savour Fine Foods & Kitchenware

When the flood hit, Savour Fine Foods and Kitchenware in Inglewood lost about $25,000 in inventory that was stored in the basement. The store, which specializes in gourmet ingredients and food as well as all the tools to prepare it, was closed for a week and without power until July 11, so it ran on an extension cord and no lights.  Savour had to throw away all the food products and a lot of the kitchenware they had in the basement, and now the store is working on replacing that lost inventory.

To find about more about Savour’s great quality ingredients and carefully selected products for both novice and gourmet cooks visit SavourFineFoods.com
