The ACCC Board wishes all of you a very merry Christmas and a well-deserved break. We’ll be back in 2023 but until then, keep an eye on our social media for news and updates.

We welcome and encourage you to submit news, press releases and any other content related to your business. Submission is restricted to current members or information impactful to our members (funding, government notices, business opportunities, etc.). Submissions will be included at the discretion of the ACCC editorial team.
The final date for submissions will be the Tuesday before the bulletin goes out. The next submission deadline is Tuesday, 3rd January.

Welcome aboard to the member businesses who have signed up for our Discover Albert County campaign. This initiative will help tourists and locals alike see the breadth and experience of our amazing local businesses.

Welcome to Albert County Funeral Home! The Bishop Family have been serving our friends, families and community for 5 generations. We welcome them into the ACCC community.

Welcome to Aidex Pest Management Services! Started in June of 2022, Aidex is headed up by Dale Harchard.  They are based out of Riverview and can help you handle any pest problems.

How We Roll Painting Services are headed up by experienced painter, Jared Hartley. They offer commercial and residential services.

“Our friendly painters finish every job to the customer’s satisfaction leaving you with a smile. For all your painting needs we are your answer!”

Our member, Fundy National Park, has offered a member-to-member benefit that has now been approved by the Chamber Board. Members can hire the Salt & Fir Centre for a reduced cost of 50%, making it $204.50 for a full day or $102.25 for a half day. Thank you to Fundy National Park for offering a benefit to our members.

If you would like to submit an idea for your business to offer a benefit to your fellow members, you can do so here.

Got a small project that’s sitting on the back burner?

If you’re looking for some help to turbocharge that project in the new year, Future Link might be for you. Future Link works with students across New Brunswick and connects them with businesses that are looking for help on specific projects for a 2-week period. The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Moncton is administering this program. They would love to speak with you if you have an interest in Future Link.

As we start to close out 2022, we would like to remind members that funds are still available for the Canada Digital Adoption Grant. This $2,400 grant can be used for activities relating to:

• getting online
• increasing sales
• adopting security software
• connecting with customers
• improving social media marketing
• improving user experience for online customers

If you have not yet put in an application, you can do so by signing up to the Digital Main Street portal.

Member business Cyber PR Army would like to remind people that they are approved vendors supplying services for CDAP grants and are also happy to help you with your application.

With up to $1.5 billion in federal funding over five years, the Green and Inclusive Community Building (GICB) Program is now open for its second scheduled intake. The program supports green and accessible retrofits, repairs, or upgrades of existing public community buildings, and the construction of new publicly-accessible community buildings that serve high-needs, underserved communities across Canada.

Our fortnightly podcast, Chamber Chat, is hosted by podcasting powerhouse, Tosh Taylor. You will find the latest episode available on our Facebook page later this week. Tosh talks to local business owners and related people discussing all things business in Albert County.

We are always looking for guests so if you are interested, get in touch
