Chamber Pulse: The heartbeat of the business community

Stopping the spread of COVID-19 and protecting our economy go hand-in-hand. It is important that we all do our part to recover together, allowing us get back to the things we all miss.


You can do your part by getting vaccinated, following public health guidelines and practicing physical distancing. Waiting or refusing to get vaccinated will prolong public health restrictions and delay the reopening of our economy.


When you are eligible, get vaccinated, so we can all get back to the things we miss the most!

COVID-19 Rapid Testing for Businesses

In conjunction with vaccinations, businesses can stop the spread of COVID-19 by utilizing rapid testing for employees. In partnership with the Alberta Chambers and the provincial government, the Calgary Chamber is offering complimentary COVID-19 rapid tests to eligible businesses. By testing employees, businesses can stop outbreaks before they happen while keeping both customers and staff safe.


Any business can register to access these tests. Please visit our website to learn more and register for the Rapid Testing Program.
