Mandy Farmer and Al Hasham

Connecting across generations

PictureMandy Farmer and Al Hasham
The Chamber has been around 156 years, so it’s not surprising that it has been a part of life for generations of families in Greater Victoria. Mandy Farmer and Al Hasham were both involved with the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce before they finally met at The Chamber.

“The Chamber has been part of my life and my family’s life for a long-time, so it’s tough to pin down exactly when I met Al. It was through The Chamber though, and he is one of the people I have always looked for when attending Chamber networking events,” Farmer says.

Hasham recalls meeting Farmer through her family’s business, back when he started his first courier company in Victoria.

“We’ve grown up with The Chamber and have been involved with it for a long time,” Hasham says. “In fact, I nominated Mandy for Business Person of the Year in 2017. I was as thrilled as she was when her name was announced as the winner.”
