Get ready to celebrate the Calgary Chamber's 125th birthday in a big way

Thursday, April 28, 2016
5:00 pm – 7:30 pm

The Bow Sky Garden
500 Centre Street SE

Please note that this is a members-only event. If you are not a Calgary Chamber member, please contact us at membership@calgarychamber.com.

125 years ago, a group of 46 business leaders – including a gun maker, a horse trader and the local “boot and shoe man,” came together to form the Calgary Chamber. They believed they could accomplish more together than apart, and believed in something – that Calgary is a great city, and that together they could do, and achieve, more.  In 2016 we continue that legacy, proudly.

We will be celebrating this momentous milestone in a big way at our upcoming 125th Annual General Meeting, and in recognition of the leadership role you have played in the success of the Chamber and our city, we would like to invite you to be a part of it.

Join us at the top of The Bow to celebrate the past, present and future of your Calgary Chamber.
