F
or 124 years the Calgary Chamber has worked to create a stronger, more dynamic and prosperous business community. Over the years, the Chamber’s efforts have helped to improve economic competitiveness by advancing the social and political agenda to make this city a better place to live and work for all. Throughout its history, the Chamber has been an important force in building a better Calgary, including helping to form the Calgary Airport Authority, Innovate Calgary, the Calgary Foundation, the Homeless Foundation and Parks Foundation Calgary. In recent years, the Chamber played an essential role in helping business recover from the devastating floods, continued initiatives to attract and retain skilled workers, created aboriginal-business connections, and advocated for more business-friendly regulations. In order to tell the stories about the important work of the Chamber, this month the Chamber will embark on one of the largest awareness campaigns in its 124-year history. You may have noticed recently a much larger visual presence from the Calgary Chamber around the city. The campaign entitled, Belong, involves a month-long media campaign. The promotional materials feature a cross-section of senior business leaders from the Chamber membership. You can see these advertisements on Pattison billboards, elevator and transit ads throughout the city. The Chamber TV ad is running on CBC during prime news broadcasts as well as during the Stanley Cup playoffs, and of course all over the Chamber social media platforms.
