Chamber of Commerce

The benefits of joining the Kootenay Lake Chamber of Commerce are similar to joining other business organizations; you get the power of numbers when purchasing business services including long distance rates, credit card services, gasoline, payroll and group insurance services. Economies of scale can help to reduce advertising costs and present new promotional opportunities. Joining the Kootenay Lake Chamber of Commerce also makes you a member of the BC Chamber of Commerce, entitling you to discounts they've negotiated on members' behalf.

But you must be a Chamber member to take advantage of these great opportunities!

While the KLCC has a primary focus of encouraging tourism on the East Shore, it is important that ALL businesses are represented. This is particularly important because of the lack of local government in the area – in this vacuum, the Chamber is one of the few effective, transparent, responsible local organizations with the ear of government.

Your participation is essential for the Chamber to be truly representative!

The Chamber is involved in so many things:

  • an East Shore Job Fair
  • input to the Ferry Stakeholder’s meetings
  • recommendations on policing on the East Shore
  • input to the RDCK regarding lake levels
  • working with the Ministry of Transport on signage and road maintenance
  • helping to develop a fire station to serve Crawford Bay & Kootenay Bay
  • supporting the expansion of high speed internet on the East Shore
  • supporting community efforts and celebrations

Meetings are the 3rd Monday of each month at various locations up & down the East Shore (no meetings in July or August). Come on out, meet old friends and new, and make your voice heard.

For additional information or meeting locations, simply call Andre at Wedgwood Manor (250) 227-9233.
