Chamber in the News
Dianne Russell & Kory Eastman / Moderators
A Meet the Candidates forum was held in advance of the May 12th by-election for two vacant City Council seats. Due to COVID restrictions the forum was recorded and made available for viewing starting tomorrow on the Chamber's Facebook page. The four candidates are Leslie Beck, Bill Hanson, Carrie Hume and Tom Therien. They faced questions posed by moderators Kory Eastman and Dianne Russell on behalf of the City of Flin Flon and the Flin Flon and District Chamber of Commerce, with an opportunity to outline their goals and plans for our City.
The by-election is being held on May 12th with advance voting on May 6th both in City Hall Council Chambers from 8 to 8 following public health guidelines.

Twenty members of the Flin Flon and District Chamber of Commerce met on Zoom yesterday afternoon with the President of Manitoba Chambers Chuck Davidson. Davidson reported he continues to advocate on behalf of local Chambers by holding virtual meetings with them and passing their information on during meetings with a variety of government ministers such as convincing them to drop the essentials only list in the north to re-open businesses while COVID numbers were high only in eastern part of the region and pushing to split the northern health region along highway six for restrictions.
General Meeting: February 9, 2021
There's Music on Mainstreet! In December 2020, The Chamber was excited to start piping music along Main Street. The project, while not yet complete, has placed speakers over 2/3 of the street and now has the ability to play music continuously for the shoppers on Main Street. CFAR has generously stepped-up to maintain the system and content at their own expense. Donations were gratefully accepted from Hudbay Minerals, City of Flin Flon, Town of Creighton, along with personal donations from Dona & Karen O'Brien as a legacy to their father, Doug O'Brien. Special thanks to Dianne Russell who single-handedly managed and oversaw this project from inception to reality. The Chamber hopes everyone is enjoying the music!
Update: Thank you to the following for also donating to Music on Main Street: North of 53 Consumers Co-op, Flin Flon Neighbourhood Revitalization Corp., Major Midwest, and Community Futures Greenstone.
