The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce has announced the speaker for the next Yorkton Chamber of Commerce Business Dinner. John Gormley will speak at the event, to be held on October 2 at the St. Mary’s Cultural Centre.
Carol Yaholnitsky, chairman of the events committee for the Chamber of Commerce, said that they chose Gormley because they wanted to have someone who understands what’s happening in Saskatchewan, especially in terms of the trials and tribulations facing local businesses, along with the political issues in the province.
“He’s a very interesting speaker, well spoken, and he does know about the political issues in Saskatchewan right now,” said Donna Brothwell, a director with the Chamber of Commerce.
“He is a renowned broadcaster, lawyer and author,” Yaholnitsky said. “He writes weekly columns for the Saskatoon Star Phoenix and the Regina Leader Post; is the author of 2 books; and is a sessional lecturer in the College of Law, University of Saskatchewan.”
Beyond Gormley, one of the advantages for the dinner is the networking opportunities for area businesses. Yaholnitsky said that since it’s one of the Chamber’s biggest events of the year, it’s a great opportunity to meet with people who you would otherwise not have the chance to meet from around the area.
Tickets are on sale now at the Chamber of Commerce. They anticipate a sell-out, and recommend people buy tickets as soon as possible.
