The Weyburn Chamber of Commerce is undertaking a new project, called Chamber Bucks, that is aimed at getting more people to shop local. 

“It's an opportunity for anybody to purchase any item that they would normally purchase within Weyburn,” explained Larry Heggs, the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce. Those who make a purchase can then take their receipts, until November 15th, down to the Chamber offices on 3rd Street to enter the draw. 

On the 15th, the grand prize winner will be announced. 

“One lucky winner will receive $1,000 in Chamber Bucks,” Heggs said about the prize. The Chamber Bucks will then be able to be spent at any participating member of the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce.  

“We’re trying to get it as close to Christmas as we can, and it’s just to inspire people to want to buy in Weyburn, and buy from Chamber members of course,” explain Heggs.
