SURREY – Today’s imposition of new US tariffs may create uncertainty for businesses in our region, especially those involved in cross-border trade. At the Surrey Board of Trade and the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce, we understand the challenges this may bring — and we want you to know that we’re here to support you, just as we’ve weathered major challenges together in the past.

Whether it was navigating the pandemic, supply chain disruptions, or shifts in global markets, our business community has shown resilience and adaptability. And once again, we’ll face this together, with the Board of Trade and Chamber by your side.

We are actively monitoring developments and working with government partners to advocate for your interests. In the meantime, we’re here to provide:

  • Timely Updates: Clear, concise information about policy changes and business support and what they mean for your business.
  • Expert Resources: Access to training, dialogues, tools and information to help you navigate evolving trade landscapes and explore alternate markets.
  • Advocacy & Policy Work: A strong voice at all levels of government, championing local businesses and trade fairness.
  • Networking & Peer Support: Opportunities to connect with fellow business leaders, fostering collaboration and shared solutions.

If your business is feeling the impact of these tariffs, we want to hear from you. Your insights help guide our advocacy efforts and ensure we’re addressing the most pressing issues for our members.

We’ve overcome challenges before — and together, we will again.

Let’s stand together, for our economy, our businesses and our workers.
