Thank you for shopping #ChamberLocalVicBC
This campaign has now ended. Stay tuned for more as we enter 2022.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our Shop #ChamberLocalVicBC Campaign! For the month of December, we supported the recovery of our local economy (and enabled social distancing) as Chamber members were able to have their products delivered to local customers absolutely free of charge.
We are thrilled to announce that during the campaign, over 1,175 packages were delivered to happy customers across Greater Victoria. From books and artwork to makeup and mugs, customers from Sidney to Sooke received their gifts with the incredible support of Maximum Express and National Courier Service. As we kick off the new year, we’re looking forward to connecting with our members to offer additional benefits, more opportunities for networking, and unique promotions like our Shop Local campaign. Stay tuned for more as we enter the new year together. You can shop #ChamberLocalVicBC all year round by visiting our Member Directory. |

The importance of buying local
The last two years have been challenging for retailers, but the forecast was for Canadians to spend more this holiday season.
“In an effort to help people choose to shop at Greater Victoria retailers this holiday season, The Chamber is putting our money where our mouth is and paying the cost of shipping,” Chamber CEO Bruce Williams says. “We all benefit from a strong regional economy and it’s up to each of us to do our part to help with the ongoing recovery.” We evened the playing field by covering the delivery fee for our Chamber retailers at no expense to our members or their customers. Let your family and friends know to shop #ChamberLocalVicBC all year round!

How it works
The Chamber's Shop #ChamberLocalVicBC program was designed to help both retailers and local shoppers this holiday season. For retail items of packages and gifts under 20lbs shipped overnight anywhere from Sidney to Sooke, The Chamber picked up the tab for shipping.
We were thrilled to be able to offer this benefit to our members as a great resource to save money and entice shopping local in the region. Some lucky customers also received a free, plant-based and biodegradable Chamber tote purchased through local Indigenous-owned supplier and member Brandigenous. Packages were sent to customers via overnight delivery service Monday to Friday (excluding statutory holidays). |
