What is a Chamber of Commerce?
As a not-for-profit, member-driven organization, a Chamber of Commerce serves as the collective voice and engine for business and community betterment. Comprised of forward-thinking individuals and enterprises, we collaborate to elevate the commercial, financial, and civic fabric of a community.
Boasting a prominent role as one of Alberta's largest Chambers, the Grande Prairie & District Chamber of Commerce commands an influential network of nearly 1,100 members, who collectively employ over 20,000 individuals. Our strategic focus centers on empowering businesses and fostering opportunities through targeted initiatives and services.
Recognized as trusted advisors, we hold key positions on various community committees and projects within Grande Prairie and Region. Beyond our immediate locale, we extend our influence by collaborating with adjacent chambers and local governing bodies. Our overarching objective is to serve as the ultimate connector—linking our members to invaluable insights and to each other, all in pursuit of collective success.
Why do we need YOU? Because Your Voice Counts!
As a leading community chamber, we're proud to be part of a robust ecosystem of business advocates through our membership in the Alberta Chamber of Commerce (ACC) and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce (CCC).
The ACC is a dynamic network of over 100 community chambers that collectively represent more than 25,000 businesses across Alberta. Meanwhile, the CCC amplifies this reach on a national scale, connecting 400+ chamber members and 100+ association members, representing an impressive 200,000 businesses across Canada.
United in purpose, the ACC and CCC serve as influential voices for businesses—regardless of size, sector, or region—advocating for public policies that cultivate a thriving, competitive economic landscape. Our shared mission is to champion an environment where businesses and communities not only succeed but flourish.
