There is, no doubt, the Town has great potential for tourigm, the executive noted, adding Bronte Harbour already _ "Two harbors!" she exclaimed. "I figured, this must be by design. These people have been keeping this jewel all to themselves." (Very perceptive.) If Kempel has anything to sz(y about it, Oakville will soon be open for busiâ€" Oakville has been something of a sebret for many years, she said, and recalled the times she‘d been to the Canadian Open (golf tournament) as a spectator, but never once gone south of the QEW until she began to research for her job and discovered the beautiful downtown section and two recreational harbors.

The bubble would burst soon enough, she reckoned; in the meantime, she‘ll enjoy her state of grace. "I have been wondering lately," she admitted with a chuckle, is the honeyâ€" moon going to go on forever?" So far, the Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo native has no regrets about making the switch. In fact, she has fallen in love with the Town to the extent of joining a health club and purchasing a condominium in Bronte Harbour. The job itself has been fully consuming. Oakville Chamber has almost 1,000 corporate members; 1,400 voting memâ€" bers; and about 200 active volunteers who work on 22 separate committees. (Con‘t from Page 18) It was a big decision, but not a diffiâ€" cult one,â€" the Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo native explained. The natural thing was to seek the greater responsibilities of the larger and more active Oakville Chamber of Commerce. Kempel is in her element Kempel is particularly proud of a new Publications Committee which is helping to turn out a monthly newsletter and a Tourism Directory. But these are challenges for the 22 Chamber of Commerce committees to tackle; from the funâ€"loving Golf Committee, to Public Relations, to the Environment, to Tourism, and Promotion, and so on. The real test will be to find an attracâ€" tion for the "shoulder" or offâ€"season. (Aye, there‘s the rub.

Her style, she said, is characterized by openness and empowerment; her aim is to create an environment where the volunteers within the Chamber of Commerce can be active and innovative and get results. Would she call herself ambitious? Kempel deflected the question with a big smile. "I don‘t play games," she mainâ€" tained.
