About

The Gander and Area Chamber of Commerce is a not-for-profit organization made up of businesses, professionals, community groups, and interested individuals. We have been established for 61 years and today we currently have over 300 members.

The Chamber is organized to advance the area’s commercial, industrial, civic, and general interests, so that all areas of the business community will prosper. The Gander and Area Chamber of Commerce acts as a unified voice for business, enabling its membership to accomplish collectively, what no one person can easily do individually.

Our Mission Statement

To promote and improve the economic climate of the area, to support the needs and concerns of the business community and to enhance the civic and social well-being of the area.

Each year a Board of Directors is elected by the membership. This Board establishes the goals and objectives for the year and works with the members and staff to accomplish our mission.

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.
