The Winter Speaker Series from the High River Chamber of Commerce kicks off Thursday, November 23.

Representatives from Community Futures Highwood, Bow Valley College and the Santa Claus Parade will be updating local businesses.

Chamber President Steven Muth says they like to have local's speaking to locals.

"We try to. My personal opinion has always been, the local people know the local area, so they can usually come up with local solutions."

The luncheon gets going at Noon at the Highwood Golf and Country Club.

The cost is $20/person to cover the cost of the lunch.

And Muth says as always the luncheon's are open to everyone, not just Chamber Members.
