New chamber CEO excited to be here

Jun 20, 2018 | 6:24 AM

The new Chief Executive Officer for the Grande Prairie and District Chamber of Commerce is into her first week on the job.

Tanya Oliver was the Executive Director of the Bonnyville Chamber for the last nine years.

“So I think I bring that as well as a new perspective and good energy and good ideas. Over the years I have always looked up to the work that is coming out of the Grande Prairie Chamber of Commerce.”

Oliver’s first day was Monday and tells us it feels like coming home.

“I grew up here a little bit, I did high school here and I completed my education at the GPRC and I moved away 13 years ago now.” She adds “all my family is still here in Grande Prairie.”

Retiring CEO Dan Pearcy will be helping Oliver settle into the role for the next couple of weeks.
