Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce

🏒 The Peninsula Panthers are looking for billet families!

With another season of Panthers hockey just around the corner, the team is seeking local families to open their homes to out-of-town players for the upcoming season.

Billet families receive:
🏠 $850/ month
🎟 Season tickets for household family members
🎉 Special billet family events and recognition
🤝 The opportunity to support a young athelete while becoming part of the Panthers community

Players are independent, have their own transportation, and are attending school or working. Billet families provide access to the kitchen and utilities, along with one prepared meal each day (usually dinner).

Interested or have questions? Contact the Peninsula Panthers:

Let's find some great local homes for this season's Panthers!

What a day of deBOCCEry!

Last Friday, teams came together at McTavish Academy Of Art for a day of friendly competition, great conversations, plenty of laughs—and of course, a little bocce.

Events like this are about more than competition. They're an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, make new connections, strengthen existing ones, and spend some time with our business community.

Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor Hughesman Morris Liversedge, CPA's, our sponsors and partners who helped make the day possible, and of course a huge thank you to everyone who joined us!

A special shoutout to our prize sponsors Orca Spirit Adventures , Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse, Star Cinema, Peninsula Panthers, McTavish Academy of Art, and the The Fickle Fig Farm Market Market for helping us celebrate our winners.

In this week's newsletter we're sharing some highlights from the tournament, along with upcoming member opportunities, events, job postings and more from around the Peninsula.
