First meeting set framework for solid Chamber increasing strength within the community. At this first meeting, it was agreed that the Chamber would be made up of various sections such as retail, industrial, finance, real estate and building. Each section would have its own head who would be a member of the Board of Directors. J. Spencer Fraser, of Fraser Hardware, was chosen as Chairman and Gord Brown, of Brown Electric, was made executive assistant. To cover initial expenses, the Junior Chamber made a contribution of $50. A total of $255 was colâ€" lected to launch the Chamber. On Oct. 15th, a request for members was seen in the Recordâ€"Star under the "Business Men Note" section.

In the Thursday, Nov. 5th ediâ€" tion of the Record Star, Chamber President Botterell took Grant‘s message to heart when he outlined the aims of this new organization, which are still a large part of the philosoâ€" phy of today‘s Chamber. "...it would foster commercial and industrial development to create a more balanced assessment, produce facts to enable citizens to think and act intelligently about commercial affairs, proâ€" mote cultural interests, and maintain a central bureau to furâ€" nish general and commercial information."

Allan Masson, one of the first presidents of the Chamber in the 1950‘s, recalls the early organiâ€" zation as being more local than it is today. "We had meetings once a month and a luncheon group that met every day," he says.
