COMOX VALLEY – Summer is in full-swing in the Comox Valley and the Chamber is enjoying catching up on overdue projects and working on programming for the Fall.
Berwick Comox is hosting a business after business mixer on September 12. Construction of the next phase of Berwick is moving along well. We are excited to see what they have planned in their future.
October is small business month and the Comox Valley Chamber is pulling out all the stops for its members with many workshops, networking opportunities, and a business expo. If you are a business in the Comox Valley, either a small business or a large business that services SME’s, The Chamber would love to hear from you.
Tables for the Comox Valley Business Expo on October 11 are available on the website. The Expo is taking place at the Florence Filberg Centre in downtown Courtenay. Maximize your business reach, connect with customers, and perfect your pitch with a table at the Expo.
The Comox Valley Chamber welcomed these wide-ranging dynamic businesses and organizations to the Chamber in July: Trimara Service Ltd., Ocean Estates Developments and Vancouver Island Mountain Sports Society.
Long-term members that deserve a mention, not only for their continuing Chamber support but also for their long time success are: Excel Career College celebrating 27 years as a Chamber member, Driftwood Self Storage joined the Chamber in 2001, and Berwick Comox Valley joined the Chamber family in 2006.
The Chamber is the Comox Valley’s largest and most influential business association; your Business Champion. Our goal is to power the people who power the Comox Valley and beyond. The Chamber is listening to what Businesses want: More exposure for their business, highly focused networking, professional learning opportunities, business leadership, and solid connections.
