PRINCE GEORGE – The local Chamber of Commerce has opted to do away with its traditional bricks and mortar building for more modest digs. The new office is located on Seventh Avenue, co-located with the Prince George Community Foundation.

CEO Todd Corrigall says, without the upkeep of a building, the Chamber can better focus on serving the needs of its membership.

“During the pandemic, our board and team discussed our role, responsibility and how best we can serve our members. As a result of these discussions, it was determined that we could better allocate our resources if we did not have to manage the building, too,” says Corrigall. “In our new location, we have access to other like-minded organizations who are equally focused on creating a better community for all of our residents, current and future.”

“We feel this location provides the visibility for our organization in the community but allows the team easy access to our business districts where our members are located,” says Ray Noonan, President of the Board. “Todd and his team have worked incredibly hard over the years to increase our personal interactions with members, and this further allows that to take hold.”
