Chamber in the News

President and CEO for Calm Air Gary Bell told the Flin Flon and District Chamber of Commerce yesterday they take their community involvement seriously.  He reported in 2019 for this community they were able to donate 72 thousand dollars and change and that was actually down quite significantly from the year before as in 2018 it was 90 thousand.  He explained they are always looking to help with things you have going on in the community noting they always want to sponsor events and they sponsor the Flin Flon Bombers, Trout Festival and perhaps they can play a bigger role in those kinds of things and Flinty needs some repairs but they don’t do cash so what they could do if there is a group handling that is provide a ticket or two or gift certificates to be auctioned off or used as prizes for some of those fund raisers.   Bell also outlined their discount air fares including their family plan, the student plan and connectors fare with some requirements to be met and engine and interior upgrades underway on their aircraft

These tours provide select host communities with a chance to showcase their value proposition, and to uncover and foster potentially lucrative and mutually-beneficial relationships that may not otherwise exist.
