Power Smart Tip
Your WestShore Chamber is proud to partner with BC Hydro Power Smart to help your business conserve energy and save money.
Replace incandescent lamps in exit signs, pot lights and general lighting fixtures with compact fluorescent lamps. These lamps use 72% less energy while lasting 10 times longer, considerably reducing maintenance costs. Many models of compact fluorescent lamps come in a compact self-ballasted unit, complete with screw-in base, ideal for easily replacing incandescent light bulbs in residential and commercial applications.

We would like to say thank you to Citrine Boutique, a
member who has been very supportive for the past two years and will
be closing their doors at the end of this month.
Best of luck to Catherine and Ashlee in your future endeavors!
