A Message from the
CEO, Larry Fladager
As June begins, the Chamber looks forward to hosting its annual Duffer Classic golf tournament. This year’s event takes place Friday, June 5 at Mark’s 9 Golf Course. Thanks to our generous sponsors and business partners, we have some great games and prizes lined up for this exciting event. The Chamber golf tournament is always a fun way to network with other business contacts while enjoying a great game of golf.
The Chamber was pleased to host a luncheon May 28 with Prince Albert City Police Chief Troy Cooper. Chief Cooper lead a very informative discussion on the Economics of Public Safety. This event was well-attended and hosted at Plaza 88, the city’s newest convention centre.
The Chamber continues to work on initiatives affecting our membership. The Chamber staff and board representatives recently met with councillors and department leads at the City of Prince Albert. This was the second such meeting between the Chamber and the City in the past year and a good opportunity to share ideas on issues of mutual interest.
The City will host its second open house June 10 regarding the Official Community Plan (OCP). This is a chance to have your say regarding the direction of our city. Be sure to attend this meeting in the City Hall foyer beginning at 6:30 p.m.
And finally, as we head into the summer months, the monthly Chamber newsletter will be taking a break. To keep up to date on all Chamber news and upcoming events, be sure to read our weekly e-news every Monday. And follow us on Facebook and Twitter as well.
To all our Chamber members, community partners and corporate sponsors, we wish you a wonderful summer. The Chamber is planning a number of exciting luncheons and business networking events for the fall. We hope to see you all there.

1. It's always safe for you to test every load before you lift by pushing the object lightly with your hands or feet to see how easily it moves. This exercise will provide you information on the weight of the load. If it's too heavy for you, do not try to lift it; seek someone's help.
2. Do not judge by the size of the load as even small loads might be pretty heavy to lift. Release the object on the way if you feel any kind of muscle pain or irritation.
3. Use proper gears that support you well for every lift. Wear shoes with good traction and solid gripping gloves which will help you to hold the object for a longer period of time.
4. Avoid standing too far from the load as it might not provide you the needed grip to hold the object properly; always stand close to the object. Align yourself properly over the load with your feet and shoulders wide apart, This will give you the exact balance needed to hold the load while lifting it.
5. The best technique to lift heavier loads is to keep your back straight, bend your knees to the floor and grab the load. For heavier loads, try lifting with your full breath, and tighten your abdominal muscle too for added support.
6. Make sure you lift with a slow, steady force. This will help you avoid muscle strains from
having to counter an unbalanced load.
7. Make use of the handles applied to the object or box as this might also provide an accurate grip and will further moderate the weight. Do not bend yourself or by any ways twist the body. This will certainly cut off your momentum and cause muscle strain.
8. Always identify the path on which you will be going with the load and clear all obstacles from your intended path. Take smooth and small strides with much heavier loads to avoid muscle strain from overcompensating for shifting loads.
9. Try to avoid taking loads over slippery or uneven surfaces. Hold loads on your shoulders for the best support and balance.
10. Consider taking your loads over small intervals instead of carrying multiple items at the same time.
Lifting whether in the workplace accounts for numerous injuries. Be safe in your workplace and lift safely.
