Ok, we have a new date! The NWT Chamber of Commerce AGM will now take place Monday, June 3 at the Ptarmigan Inn boardroom in Hay River. Please let us know if you're interesting in participating or joining the board at [email protected]. See you in June everybody!

Apologies Hay River but we're going to have to move our AGM up by a few weeks. We still intend to bring NWT businesses together in the Hub but a scheduling conflict requires us to postponed the previously announced May 15 date. Stay tuned. We'll keep you posted!
