The Bonnyville & District Chamber of Commerce brought local business to the forefront once again last Thursday night, celebrating some of the achievements from our own.

The Bonnyville Chamber celebrated 75 years of serving the community with the Business Resiliency Awards.

It was a packed house at the GenMec Hall.

Purpose ☆ Passion ☆ Service

I learned this philosophy from Gabby Bernstein so I’m not the insightful one – BUT it works in life, in business, in relationships. In everything I do.

Purpose – you’ll know it’s your purpose because it will come easy. You won’t have to push or force, it will be as if the entire world opens up and aligns for you.

Passion – no matter how hard you’re working, it’ll never feel like work. It will excite you and drive you to do more. If you were being paid nothing you would still be doing this.

Service – when you align your purpose and your passion with service to your community, everything will magically unfold and you will be rewarded. The money will flow to you with ease and you will be supported in so many ways.

It takes a lot of trust to sit back and allow everything to work out. Often not in your time. One of the hardest parts is trusting that you are ALL ways being supported. And yes, I spelt it that way for a reason – always and in all ways.

Recieving this award for the second time in 4 years tells me what we are doing is making a meaningful and positive contribution to our community.

That our hardwork is being seen and we are recognized.

Thank you to whomever nominated us and to the Chamber for naming Lakeland Connect – Building Community Resilence Award recipients for 2023.
