"Believe!" And we did, until the very last moment. But why stop and wait until next year? The belief we had in the Oilers wasn't just about hockey, but about our city and ourselves. The Oilers simply reminded us of how amazing we are. But we can't stop believing now. Read Doug's full article about why he won't stop believing in Edmonton 🧡💙 https://lnkd.in/gwpFa-ZN

The Chamber VIP Lounge at Taste of Edmonton, presented by The Canadian Brewhouse, is back! This is the ideal downtown event for corporate team building and making new contacts this summer. Meet us there at the best seat in the house to enjoy live entertainment, food, drinks, and networking with local business influencers. We'll have exciting prizes, including a chance to win VIP seating and food tickets for two in the KLM Sky Lounge to watch and meet Classified, an international recording artist. We can't wait to welcome you there and make lasting memories together! Get your tickets now, as there are limited numbers available. https://lnkd.in/gAtQpu3K

The Oilers' playoff run was fantastic for our city, especially downtown. Heather Thomson, our VP of Research, Strategy, and Engagement, perfectly summed it up: "We got to see how downtowns are supposed to feel from a place of vibrancy, and when things feel vibrant, they feel safe."

As Pride Month comes to an end, we want to take a moment to commemorate the Stonewall Riots as the Alberta LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce rise the Pride Flag on the World Trade Centre of Edmonton. While we’ve spent the month celebrating, the Stonewall Riots are a reminder that Pride is a protest. And our support of LGBTQS2+ businesses doesn’t end with the month of Pride!   To learn more about their ongoing work in building a strong, inclusive, and diverse Alberta, visit their website: https://www.ab-lgbt.com/

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for our Inaugural Advancing Economic Reconciliation event at NorQuest College. The Edmonton Chamber of Commerce is committed to advancing Indigenous economic prosperity, and this event was the first step in that commitment. Thank you to our speaker, Max FineDay, and panellists, Chelsey Quirk and Jed Johns, for sharing your thoughts and opinions on this important topic. For those who couldn't attend, we encourage you to visit our website to read a summary of the event and understand why economic reconciliation is so important. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/g45UD7BC
