About Us

Strong Businesses. Strong Communities.

100 Years Strong.

From local main streets to global markets, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce is the national voice of business uniting over 400 chambers of commerce and boards of trade that represent more than 200,000 organizations across every region of Canada.

Our network represents the full spectrum of Canadian businesses that drive the economy, create jobs, and spark innovation. They’re at the core of everything we do.

Our Mission & Vision

Our mission is to drive change, partner broadly and be the undisputed champion and catalyst for the future of business success. Our vision is to build a Canada of thriving business opportunity, a strong economy and a better life for all.

What Drives Us. Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.

Canadian businesses do far more than drive the economy, they create local jobs, strengthen families, spark innovation, and keep communities thriving. They are the beating heart of Canada’s towns and cities and help to shape the future of our country.

Through advocacy, data-driven research and nationwide networking, we help shape policies and create spaces that empower businesses to grow, hire, invest, and give back to their communities.

Our work is inspired by Canadian business success and remains central to our purpose.

Behind Every Policy and Every Business Is a Human Story.
