What We Do

What is a Chamber of Commerce? 

A Chamber of Commerce is the voice of business. Chambers harness energy, champion ideas, and collectively move forward sensible solutions for small business. They advocate on behalf of the business community at all 3 levels of government and are successful in these efforts due to their non-partisan nature. Chambers provide solutions to businesses’ toughest problems, overcome barriers to growth, and work to build welcoming and inclusive business communities. Chambers serve to ensure the interests of the business community are at the forefront of municipal, provincial and national decision making. Many chambers provide educational opportunities and host events that showcase and celebrate local business successes through a variety of creative marketing efforts.

What a Chamber is not

Despite common misconceptions, Chambers are not banks or government organizations. It is important that people and businesses are made aware that chambers are not-for-profit, membership-driven organizations.

Why join a Chamber? 

» Chambers offer opportunities to connect and get involved
» Membership is an investment in the present and the future of a community’s welfare
» Every member has a vote on matters the chamber is involved in
» Chambers offer a variety of valuable opportunities
» The cost of membership can be easily recovered by access to the many preferred member rates and
   exposure for businesses

Who can join a Chamber? 

Any business or person who believes that a vibrant business community is the foundation of a strong place in which to work and live. All are welcome – there is something for everyone!

Our Focus

Our focus is on community, we spend a great deal of effort and time trying to get the youth engaged. We try and help children at a young age by providing them with training  and mentoring, our primary focus is on financial literacy. We believe if we help families directly that the  communities can then break the cycle of poverty by having empowered people of all ages to dream, aspire and achieve.
