The City of Summerside hosted its annual Greater Summerside Chamber of Commerce business mixer at the
newly-constructed Red Shores at Summerside Raceway on Oct. 8 with ‘Summerside Welcomes the World’ as the
event’s theme, surrounding the upcoming 2009 World Junior A Challenge in the city.
With over 120 members of the business community in attendance the host committee of the 2009 World Junior
A Challenge launched a special local business package to enhance the business communities involvement in the
event. The local business package is the ‘World Hockey with the Works!’ package, and is themed and packaged
in a pizza box.
The host committee has partnered with the Summerside Boys and Girls Club, with 10 tickets donated to the
SBGC on behalf of the purchasing business from each package sold. The packages, which are well over $500 in
value, also include t-shirts, noise makers, food vouchers, flex ticket packs, posters, window decals and
more.
Each local business is encouraged to decorate their storefronts to show their support for the 2009 World
Junior A Challenge, which opens Nov. 1 at Credit Union Place. Since the mixer, the host committee has sold
close to 30 packages and expects this number to grow as the word spreads. The Summerside Boys and Girls Club
would like to thank the following local businesses for supporting this initiative (it should be noted that
some businesses purchased more than one package):
- Summerside Journal Pioneer
- Revolution Media
- Colours Sings and Print
- Marks Work Warehouse
- Consolidated Credit Union
- Quality Inn
