Check the schedule. You may find it better to skip the summer and just join in September. I know our chamber virtually closes down over the summer months (which I think is stooopid...but no one asked me) and only the directors meet, but not the membership..no official meet-ups or events through July and August.

Out of curiousity how much is a membership there? I've been tempted to check out what the costs are in Edmonton to join...but I'd hate driving 4 hours return trip to go to events and meetings.
