North Shuswap Chamber of Commerce launches a series of good news stories about wildfire recovery.

 

Tuesday, May 14, 2024

 

The North Shuswap Chamber of Commerce has launched a good news series of stories to highlight the resiliency of the local business community as it works collaboratively during the critical recovery phase. 

 

Over 176 structures were lost in the Bush Creek fire in August of 2023 including several critical commercial operations. This series will share the first person accounts of some of those businesses across many sectors from construction and professional services, to tourism and retail. 

 

“The community spirit and cohesiveness that helped the North Shuswap through the fire’s devastation is the same spirit that will ensure our better-than-ever recovery”, says Executive Director Debbie Seymour. “Our members’ stories are a tribute to that spirit and the North Shuswap Chamber is honoured to help share them to a wider audience”. 

 

Chamber President Adam Oruclar, a business owner and volunteer firefighter with the Celista Fire Department states that “with such a diverse collection of organizations calling the North Shuswap home, it is imperative that the community works together in a collaborative nature to drive sustainable growth for everybody. From established family businesses to start-ups, there has never been a better time to thrive in such a dynamic environment.”

 

The series will be published on the Chamber website and shared on social media platforms. Stories can be viewed here: www.northshuswapbc.com/news/
