The Point Roberts Chamber of Commerce had a big turn-out for its annual general meeting and social in November at the community center, in conjunction with the Point Roberts Historical Society and with Mark Swenson as the guest speaker.
Going forward, the chamber will be working closely with the historical society in creating promotional material that highlights the Point’s “stories” to create interest and activities for tourists who are considering a visit.
Traffic into Point Roberts has not recovered from the pandemic and local retail businesses have struggled. The chamber encourages residents to respond to an online survey from the Border Policy Research Institute which is collecting stories from border communities that were impacted by the pandemic border closure. Hopefully the responses will help improve future border policies. Visit bit.ly/482Ektv
The chamber website has been helpful for visitors and businesses looking for information about Point Roberts, and inquiries have been steady.
Membership continues to grow, including associate membership groups from the residential communities. The website can be found at: pointrobertschamberofcommerce.com.
The 2024 chamber of commerce board of directors will be Brian Calder, Tamra Hansen, Linda Hughes, Wayne Lyle, Louise Mugar and Lorne Nielson.
