Bevvies & Businesses are in-person networking events that run monthly and are held the third week of each month from September to June. Whether its wine tasting, golf simulators, experiencing Arts & Culture or taking in the views from the bottom to the top of the mountain, Bevvies & Businesses are a favourite for new and existing Members alike.
Each Bevvies & Business is hosted by a different Chamber Member and themed with creative ways for you to network with your community while learning about local businesses and organizations.
Enjoy a variety of delicious food and drink while meeting and connecting with the Bow Valley business community.
