Connection Value Influence

As the largest Chamber of Commerce in the BC Interior, the Kelowna Chamber strives to provide leadership to enhance the economy and quality of life of the Okanagan. We focus our activities on three key areas: providing value through tangible benefits focused on reducing your bottom line, influencing change by lobbying government, and connecting business to business.

Connection: The Kelowna Chamber connects you to the largest business network in the Okanagan. Plug into this powerful network to make face-to-face contacts to enhance your business. Market yourself to the business community and generate new business. We host more than 40 events and functions per year which gives you ample opportunity to get networked.

Value: tangible benefits of the Kelowna Chamber include programs such as the Chamber of Commerce Group Insurance Plan, TD Merchant Services, Payworks payroll services, gas discounts, and others benefits/programs go directly to reducing your bottom line. An astute Chamber member once told me, “I want to see it jingle in my pocket”…these programs accomplish this goal.

Influence: the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce is the most influential business organization in the Okanagan Region providing a vital connection between business and all three levels of government. We bring your concerns and ideas to government and continually affect change to public policy that enhances the business climate of the Okanagan. Representing businesses of all sizes, the Kelowna Chamber is a powerful network of businesses representing in excess of 1400 businesses.

As the “Voice of Business”, the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce membership represents a lobbying power far greater than any one business can have on its own. Through its affiliation with the Canadian Chamber and individual Chambers/Board of Trade across Canada, the Kelowna Chamber lobbies on behalf of its members to government at the municipal, provincial and federal levels.

The Kelowna Chamber is a tool for you to use to grow your business. Through the Chamber network you market yourself and your company and bring value to your business through the relationships you create. You connect with new business people, re-connect with colleagues, and you learn through the sharing of ideas and skills.

The full value of membership in the Kelowna Chamber is based upon the sum of its entire scope of activities: value, influence, and connection. Influencing change through our lobbying efforts, connecting business to business, and providing tangible benefits focused on reducing your bottom line. This is the power of the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce network; are you plugged in?

Call us if you know of someone who could benefit from the connection, value and influence of the Kelowna Chamber. Together we can improve the quality of life in Kelowna and the Okanagan.
