Membership Benefits

The Chamber receives no government funding and operates as a business much like you do. Membership dues and fundraising activities support our various programs and initiatives while volunteer efforts of members through committees and the Board of Directors establish and carry out our mandate.

Through the efforts of the BC Chamber of Commerce, members have access to a number of significant benefits, including a comprehensive Group Health Insurance Plan, discounted merchant service fees, gasoline and phone discounts. For a printed list of these benefits, please click here.

In addition as Chamber members, your business has:

Listings in the Chamber roster plus one free copy each year
Free listing on website with the opportunity to purchase an expanded listing in the Member Directory

Opportunity to email all members in the Chamber database with your business message (Monday morning emails are booked on a first-come, first-served basis; some conditions apply.)
