About the Chamber

Who We Are

Brandon Chamber of Commerce is an independent, membership-funded, non-profit organization that represents Brandon, Manitoba business from the grassroots level.

Our Mission

To encourage growth in the Brandon community by fostering a progressive business environment, favourable to enhancing existing and attracting new business.

The Chamber of Commerce has existed as the voice of Brandon business since its incorporation on May 14, 1883.

The power of over 800 delegates, representing over 600 different business types, sectors, and sizes, gives the Chamber a voice that can effectively speak louder than one business alone. Through the Chamber, the business community can be assured that the business perspective is heard on issues of the day.

The Chamber also lobbies municipal, provincial and federal government representatives regarding issues that face our Chamber members.
