Business Development

One of the pillars of the Chamber of Commerce is Business Development. We provide business supports through various forms such as workshops, resources, and educational opportunities. This page will provide links to resources and any upcoming business development events or workshops that are being hosted by the Chamber.

Join us at the Fall Hiring Fair on October 4th with WorkBC to promote our latest initiative “Building an Inclusive Workforce”. We will be hosting a panel of speakers to discuss how businesses can adapt to the current labour marking by adopting a few simple practices that open them up to a wider pool of candidates.
