The Shaunavon Chamber of Commerce has a new President.

Garrett Thienes takes over the reins as Chamber President from Joanne Gregoire who recently retired from the position.

Thienes says he and the Chamber Executive plan to focus on bringing people into town and supporting the business community.

He talked about the new Chamber Executive moving forward. "A lot of new, young entrepreneurs in town that are really excited and have a great vision for the way they would like to see the business community move forward. And a good mix  of existing members that have been there, that know how things have operated for awhile. So, we really couldn't do it I think without that kind of mix."

He adds that Citizen of the Year is on hold for the time being, but will be back.

The new Executive is looking to make some changes and is always open to new ideas.

They welcome anyone who wants to help to reach out to them.
