We provide information and referrals to businesses and the general public on a wide range of issues such as economic development, community activities, shopping areas, demographics, and professional services. As well, we are involved with all levels of government and a strong membership means we can lobby municipal, provincial, and federal governments for the betterment of our members and the community in general.
We seek solutions to today’s economic and social problems and then we work towards the implementation of these solutions. The Chamber is a vehicle for action through which businesses can work together for the overall good of the communities we serve.
