Benefits of Belonging to the Canadian Chamber Network
The Power of the Network
While the Canadian Chamber of Commerce is a primary and vital connection between business
and the federal government, its local chamber and board of trade members enable businesses to
shape public policies at the municipal, regional, and provincial/territorial levels of government.
The ability to connect 200,000 businesses and organizations and to communicate to all levels of
government on business issues with the voice of business is what gives the Canadian Chamber
network its power.
Access to a Wealth of Information
Your chamber’s membership investment opens the door to a wealth of information on federal
legislation and business initiatives.
As your partner in the world of federal advocacy work, we have a policy team that can easily
provide you with updates on files that your chamber or its members might be interested in. In
terms of advocacy products on our website there’s easy access to reports, white papers, blogs
and more; our papers are published so that they can be read and shared.
Member Benefit Programs
The following programs are offered to all members of chambers and boards of trade that are
members of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Negotiated on the strength of membership
numbers in chambers across the country, we have some great cost-saving programs for you!
