Description of Activities:
The BC Chamber of Commerce (the Chamber) is registered under the Societies Act (British Columbia) as a volunteer, not-for-profit association and serves its members as the provincial federation of autonomous community chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and corporate members. Known to have been in operation as early as March 1867, the BC Chamber was re-established in 1951 to: 1. Develop a true cross-section of opinions of the British Columbia business community, and effectively present these opinions to government; 2. Build a diverse, competitive and sustainable economy that provides opportunity for all who invest, work and live in British Columbia; and 3. Create and nurture an effective membership organization that provides value and purpose to its members.
