Miranda Schmold and Elena Markin are waiting at the Chase Chamber Information Centre, ready to answer visitor inquiries.
The Chase Chamber of Commerce Info Centre is providing current information to citizens, businesses, and visitors in the community. Markin has recently taken over the manager’s role at the office on Shuswap Avenue.
Racks of pamphlets and maps pertaining to Chase, the Shuswap, and other destinations in British Columbia are available.
Schmold has joined Markin in providing knowledgeable direction to those looking for help.
Schmold, who grew up in Pritchard, is a law student at Thompson Rivers University, planning to return to her studies once again in the fall.
Another function of the Chase Chamber office is to provide support to member businesses in the area. Markin said, as the operator of an online gift shop, “I understand the challenges of doing business.”
During her days off, she enjoys exploring the beautiful surroundings, trying out different activities first hand.
Markin and Schmold are eager to serve anyone requiring their information services. See the Chase Chamber website at: http://www.chasechamber.com. The Information Centre is open seven days per week from July thru September.
If you’re wondering what happened to former manager Mallory Bilodeau, she is continuing her career with Western Financial Group, just up Shuswap Avenue from the Chamber Information Centre.
Becoming more visitor friendly
Shuswap Tourism has a new program designed to increase public and business awareness to the importance of creating better guest experiences in the region. The livelihood of small business depends on return visits and recommendations.
The Visitor Friendly Program is sponsored by the Chambers of Commerce and community associations located across the Shuswap region, Waterway Houseboats, Shuswap Tourism and Downtown Salmon Arm with the expectation that visitors will feel more welcome to our region.
For more information on the program visit Tourism Industry Resources at http://shuswaptourism.ca/content/tourism-industry-resources-and-documents. The poster and pledge are now available on-line. Watch for business nomination information in the near future.
Contact the Chase Chamber of Commerce for more information.
