The Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce’s annual Canada Day commercial contest returns with new challenges.
The chamber invites all local businesses, non-profit groups, residents and kids to participate in the Celebrate! Countdown to Canada Day decorating contest.
#CanadaTogether is the theme for the community decorating contest.
