The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is The Voice of Canadian Business

Since 1925, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has been the largest, most influential advocate for business in Canada. Founded with the aim of creating a strong, unified voice for Canadian business and a set of values from which policies encouraging prosperity would emerge, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce continues to be the only voluntary, non-political association that has an organized grassroots affiliate in every federal riding.

Mission

As the national leader in public policy advocacy on business issues, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s mission is to foster a strong, competitive, and profitable economic environment that benefits, not only business, but all Canadians.

How we achieve this

Through a two-way consultative process with its membership, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce steers the debate on federal and international policies affecting business. In collaboration with its members, the Canadian Chamber acts on policy resolutions, researching and developing strategies on a "best practices" basis for business. It then communicates these viewpoints to officials in Ottawa and internationally, to the Canadian public, and to the media.

Why is the Canadian Chamber effective?

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is the leading organization that brings all types of Canadian business together to act a powerful, single voice. It speaks for all business – from the smallest to the largest company – in every sector and in every corner of the country. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has solidified its position as "The Voice of Canadian Business," to the public, to the media, and to the federal government. Recognized as an organization with political clout, the Canadian Chamber is an articulate and persuasive advocate for business viewpoints and a champion of fiscal responsibility and national unity. Member Profile

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s 170,000 members reflect a strong, diverse network and include: chambers of commerce, boards of trade, business associations, and businesses of all sizes and from all sectors and all regions of Canada.
