The Albert County Chamber of Commerce (ACCofC) envisions Albert County as a vibrant environment for economic development and a place where residents enjoy their quality of life. Rich in culture, natural wonders, and community pride, our County is a kaleidoscope of possibility and potential for economic prosperity. We are ‘Lucky to Live in Albert County’! Many businesses and organizations already know this. Within the vast range of our borders, we see many businesses thriving in the top of their field. Tourism, hospitality, arts, culture, information technology, environment, and production all make up some of the sectors you will find represented.
The ACCofC wants to celebrate their success within our borders, and highlight their achievements to the rest of our province and region. Therefore, the Chamber is excited to announce the First Annual Business Excellence Awards & Gala, which will be taking place on March 24, 2018 at 6pm at the Hillsborough Golf Club, who will be acting as both our host and major sponsor.
