Since 1925, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce is the only national organization that connects businesses of all sizes, from all sectors of the economy and in every federal riding across the country to advocate for public policies that will foster a strong, competitive economic environment that benefits businesses, communities, and families across Canada.

Our network of Chambers of Commerce represent your business interests and allows you to shape public policies at the municipal, regional, provincial and territorial levels of government.

WE’RE NOT INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC!

Only we can show that specific issues are important to more than just one sector and demonstrate the broader economic impact. We let the government, at all levels, hear from Canadians across the country through our network.
