The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce is hosting a number of events over the next few months.
Dave Earle, president and CEO of the BC Trucking Association, will be the keynote speaker at the next chamber dinner meeting, on Tuesday, April 19.
Earle’s talk is on challenges in the supply chain, and what that means for local businesses. He’ll talk about the current challenges as the supply chain has been thrown out of whack by the pandemic, labour shortages, and last year’s flooding and highway destruction in B.C.
Earle will also talk about opportunities available thanks to de-carbonization and new technology.
Moving goods in the Fraser Valley, dealing with obstacles in a constricted market, and what new technology exists that can help will also be discussed.
The dinner meeting runs from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Cascades Casino Coast Hotel & Convention Centre Ballroom. The event will also be recorded on Facebook Live.
To register, visit the chamber’s website.
A buffet dinner runs from 6:10 to 7:10 p.m. followed by presentations and Earle’s talk.
The event costs $40 for chamber members and $55 for non-members.
