CHBA BC
As everyone is aware, we are well into the pandemic outbreak of COVID-19 across both B.C., Canada, and most of the world. While we all are still adjusting to the current reality, CHBA BC is looking for feedback from members on how COVID-19 has economically affected your business.
We are actively engaged with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Ministry of Finance on economic recovery. Providing your input on how the below opportunities relate to you, and their relative importance, in your work as a member of CHBA BC will allow us to determine the best steps moving forward on this file.
You can participate in the survey here.
The deadline for your response is Friday, May 22nd, 2020.
Georgie's Corner
We are excited to announce that for the first time ever, the Georgie Awards will be held online, in a virtual format, scheduled for June 26. We had hoped that we could still hold an in-person gala later this year; however, in keeping with an abundance of caution, we have altered this year’s format, as there are ongoing restrictions on public gatherings and following the Association’s responsibility towards ensuring public health and safety during this pandemic.
You can find our full news release here. |
