The Okotoks and District Chamber of Commerce is putting a call out to residents to get involved with their committees.

Cheryl Actemichuk, Chamber CEO, says the Chamber has several committees which need a helping hand to make local events happen.

"We're looking for people that may want to be involved in the Chamber that want to help with the marketing and communications committee, we have a policy committee, advocacy committee, policy committee, Trade Show committee, golf tournament, the Business Excellence Awards, Christmas Social... basically all of the events we do throughout the year."

There's no exact time commitment required for committee members.

Actemichuk says you don't have to be a Chamber member to join their committees.

"You don't have to be a Chamber member if you want to volunteer to do something on the board whether it's helping us set up for one of our major events, the more people we can get to help out the better that's for sure... but you don't have to be a Chamber member if you're just someone in the community who has some time to volunteer, you're more than welcome to give us a shout and sign up."
