Back in May, the Dauphin and District Chamber of Commerce held the State of the City Address and due to COVID, it was moved online.
The State of the District has yet to be held this year, but Stephen Chychota has an update on that.
“Right now we are in the process of putting it all together and getting our speakers and material put together. It’s going to be virtually hosted, it’s not an in-person session anymore and we want to respect that distancing for everyone and keep events off to the side for a little bit and we can just host everything online and make it a little bit easier on everyone.”
Chychota adds that we have technology that can bring everyone together from across the Parkland.
“We want to highlight what’s going on in the Parkland area and we’re pooling messages from all Parkland wide, Roblin, to Swan, Winnipegosis, McCreary, Ste. Rose, even here in Dauphin. A lot of content is going to be coming out.
Since everything needs to be put together still, Chychota doesn’t know how long the State of the District will be, but he says there’ll be a lot to share and there’s going to be some really great stories.
Chychota says this is the fourth state of the district, first one online, and the content that comes out is amazing and gives people perspective on what’s happening in the Parkland.
“The intent for this was to also have some business opportunities come out of it, so people can realize what’s going on in these other areas and have the ability to maybe do a pop-up shop, or actually start a business out there, or if you’re a contractor go do some builds or services out in these other areas.”
Chychota says this might be the best one just because of the way they can share the info and how many people can have access to the State of the District.
