Who We Are

We are a not-for-profit organization comprised of businesses, professionals, residents and community groups working collectively to ensure a healthy business base and positive socio-economic structure that benefits everyone in Nanaimo. The Nanaimo Chamber receives no government funding and relies solely on membership dues and fundraising events to support its activities. This independence from government funding frees the Chamber to be a strong, independent advocate on behalf of the business community, so we truly are the Voice of Business.

Chambers not only connect members to members within the local chamber, but through affiliation with the BC and Canadian Chambers, members experience the power and influence of a network of 420 Chambers across the country, with 192,000 businesses of all sizes, in all sectors of the economy, and all regions of the country.
