Our History, Greater Victoria's business history
Celebrating The Chamber's Centennial — in 1963
The Chamber 150 Year Celebrations
Legacy Tree Planting

The Legacy Tree Planting project connected The Chamber’s past, present and future, through the planting of 150 native trees and the placements of a plaque along community trails throughout Greater Victoria, including the Selkirk Trans Canada Pavilion, Atkins, the Switch Bridge, and on Mt Newton.
"The location of these trees is particularly significant, as the Galloping Goose trail was built along the very railway trestles that The Chamber lobbied for in 1885," said Darlene Hollstein, Chair of The Chamber.
This project was supported through the donation of labour and maintenance by the Capital Regional District.

Community Celebrations
The Celebrations took place in historic Centennial Square, and featured artistic/heritage performances. Community partners, such as the Victoria Police, the Victoria Fire Department and various others, provided family friendly activities and many long-standing Chamber members participated in the square with market tents.
Historic Walking Tours took place during the day giving attendees the opportunity to learn about our community’s rich heritage.
