The Fort Saskatchewan & Lamont County Regional Chamber of Commerce has
announced that the 2026 Chamber Trade Show will be paused for one year as the
organization undertakes a comprehensive redesign of the long-standing event. The
Chamber’s Board of Directors recently voted in favour of the pause after reviewing
participation trends, industry changes, and community feedback.

Canada continue to evolve in response to shifting consumer habits, online shopping,
and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chamber sees this as a strategic
moment to modernize the event.
