The Prince Albert & District Chamber of Commerce held its 2026 Annual General Meeting at the Coronet Hotel, marking what it called another year of strong community engagement and leadership within the local business sector.

During the meeting, two new directors were officially sworn in. The Chamber welcomed Heather Walker of Tellentia Inc. and Zabi Ullah, owner of Ricky’s Restaurant in Prince Albert, who will each serve a two-year term.

The membership also re-elected three incumbent directors for their second two-year term: Brett Wells, owner of Ted Matheson Men’s Wear; Marlene Goldberg, RBC; and Cole Dinney, owner of DinneyClean.

CEO Patty Hughes expressed her enthusiasm for the year ahead, noting, “We are looking forward to working with our new and returning board members. They bring a wealth of experience, insight, and commitment to the Chamber and to the broader business community.”
