Stronger business
Stronger community

The Chamber is the business voice of Luseland and the surrounding district — a town, five rural municipalities, and two villages.

Hello Luseland friends

Iryna Shabala, Economic Development Officer, outside the Chamber office
Iryna Shabala · Economic Development Officer

My name is Iryna Shabala, and I'm truly honoured to serve as the Economic Development Officer for the Luseland & District Chamber of Commerce.

My family and I moved to Luseland from Ukraine a little over a year ago, and it didn't take long to feel at home. There's something very special about this town — the kindness of people, the strength of families, and the way our community always comes together.

Before joining the Chamber, I managed several businesses and worked with city government, supporting local entrepreneurs and community projects. I believe that true progress begins with people — with shared values of hard work, honesty, and care for one another.

As your EDO, I'm here to support and promote local businesses, find grants and new opportunities for our town, help organise events that bring families together, and strengthen cooperation between business, community, and town.

I'm excited to continue building Luseland's future — a place where traditions stay strong, families thrive, and new ideas find their home.

How the Chamber is run

The Chamber meets on the first Wednesday of each month. The meeting is for members. Coming is entirely optional — nobody takes a register — but members are always encouraged to join the discussion, because what one business has already worked out is usually what another needs to hear.

If you would like a seat in that room, join the Chamber.
