Chamber Initiatives

Keeping You Connected
Even when socially distant, we're supporting business to bounce forward. Learn how we're supporting Chamber members to get through the pandemic together. 
#ChamberLocalVicBC
This campaign is meant to start a dialogue about defining local. We want to know how we can embrace this idea, to better understand what it means to be local and what we can do to help the people who own and operate businesses in our region. Read the stories from Chamber Members below.

Bingo for Local Business
Find new and creative ways to support local businesses! Complete a bingo card and tag The Chamber to be featured on our Social Media. 
#InItTogetherYYJ
In March of 2020, we asked Chamber members to join us in solidarity with local business through the In It Together YYJ campaign. 
Follow along and share these campaigns on Social Media. 

#ChamberLocalVicBC
What does local mean to you?
​Our #ChamberLocalVicBC campaign aims to help individuals understand what local means on a social, economic, and community level.

We're asking our members to answer this question with a quote about what makes their business or organization local.

​We hope you will help us amplify these stories as we work with resilience to bounce forward out of this pandemic.
