Tourism plays a vital role in driving economic growth, supporting local businesses, and showcasing the energy and diversity of our city. This special edition of Coffee with the Chamber highlights the people, organizations, and opportunities that continue to shape Edmonton as a destination ahead of Tourism Week. We're proud to partner with Explore Edmonton, a key driver in promoting our city's tourism and visitor economy.

This Coffee with the Chamber is also in partnership with Parallèle Alberta, who will be spotlighting their Career and Employment Services for French Speaking Albertans (Job Placement Program). This program is dedicated to removing barriers for French-speaking job seekers by providing tailored employment support to individuals 18+ across Alberta, including Edmonton, Red Deer, and northeastern communities — made possible through the support of the Government of Alberta's Minister of Assisted Living and Social Services.

As always, Coffee with the Chamber is your opportunity to:

• Connect with fellow business and community leaders
• Build new relationships
• Stay engaged with what's happening across Edmonton

Start your morning with great coffee, meaningful conversations, and a celebration of the tourism sector's impact on our city.
