June Chamber Connection Built Together

The Monthly Newsletter of the Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce

CHAMBER CONNECTION

FROM THE CHAMBER THE POWER OF POTENTIAL June reminds us that none of us builds success alone. The power of potential is unlocked when ideas are shared, partnerships are formed, and communities come together with purpose. This month, we celebrate the strength found in collaboration — businesses supporting businesses, leaders inspiring growth, and a community that thrives when we work together. Together, we are stronger, more resilient, and full of possibility.

Patrick Von Pander The Big Picture Coach

A huge thank you to Patrick Von Pander, The Big Picture Coach for leading such an engaging and interactive workshop on mastering business-life balance, and Julie from Ogofloat for kicking things off and sponosoring the event.

From practical strategies to meaningful conversations, attendees walked away with valuable tools to help create more balance, clarity, and intention in both business and life. Events like these are a reminder of the power of community and the importance of investing in ourselves just as much as our businesses.

Michael, our ED is currently in Fort St. John at the 2026 BC Chamber of Commerce AGM A bet is a bet! Michael recently ran into Prince George Executive Director, Neil Godbout and had to snap a photo as Neil made good on their wager by sporting a Vees jersey after the Cougars’ playoff exit following a 2–0 series lead. Hockey rivalries may run deep, but collaboration and connection between Chambers always come out on top!
