February flew by as the chamber office was busy with two big events.
The Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce Awards took place March 1 at the Best Western Premier Prestige Hotel. More than 100 business and community members came out to support the nominees, finalists and winners. A great night was had by all.
March 4, the Women’s Wellness Show was hosted by the chamber at Sooke Harbour House – it was a great event! A fashion show, over 30 exhibitors and 100 tickets were sold. The chamber was pleased with the turn out of both events and look forward to hosting these again in 2013.
