Larry Neufeld

Office Manager

Larry has been with our local chamber for over 15 years and has grown the membership from about 100 members (back in 2010) to over 400. One early task was to work with Bryan Rempel (a local Web Designer) to build a completely new website to ensure that local businesses and their categories of sales and services are searchable online. Another equally valuable resource for such an isolated community in northern Alberta was the development of a printed local Directory Booklet listing our members which is updated and mailed out annually. Both of these resources draw in several new members each year as they have become a valuable asset in which businesses, non-profit organizations, local clubs, etc. are found by customers and clients needing their products and services. La Crete & Area Chamber of Commerce also includes the surrounding farming community areas of Buffalo Head Prairie, Bluehills and Blumenort so if you are interested in joining our Chamber, give Larry a call/text: 780.285.4409 or drop by our office: 10013-101 Avenue Unit#203 in the Friesen Accounting building.

We organize several Annual events: including our Annual General Meeting, Business & Community Awards Dinner, Spring Trade Show, Chamber Member’s Golf Tournament, collaborate with other local non-profits for Canada Day Celebrations, fundraise for Community Fireworks (Organized by local Pyrotech: Ed Froese), and Moonlight Madness (shop local campaign for the Christmas Season).

Administrative Assistant

Our admin assistant is here to greet you at the door. As we are also the La Crete Tourist Information Centre our staff also welcome visitors to our community or answer questions of tourists who are just passing through and are looking for accommodations or somewhere to eat. We have many free brochures for our area, the rest of Alberta. We also maintain our online and in office “Job Boards” and assist with other employment needs such as helping create or update resumes.
