About
The Greater Fort Erie Chamber of Commerce is a united voice for business of all sizes and interests, servicing the Fort Erie , Ridgeway, Crystal Beach and Stevensville area. As a private, non-partisan organization the Chamber strives to promote trade, tourism and the civic and social progress of Greater Fort Erie. Founded by members of the Fort Erie Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce) in 1947, the Chamber was registered as a board of trade by the Department of the Secretary of State of Canada in Ottawa on April 10, 1951.
Benefits for Chamber membership include a host of networking and promotional opportunities through the various activities offered by the Chamber. Member to member referrals are common and inquiries to the Chamber office are directed to our members first. An annual member directory/buyers guide is published for distribution throughout the region. Other benefits include money saving discount programs offered only to members of the Chamber of Commerce. A Chamber Group Insurance plan is also available to provide the smaller business with the group benefit plan that suits them.
The Greater Fort Erie Chamber of Commerce works with other local and regional Chambers of Commerce to discuss and seek resolutions to more complex economic issues that may affect local businesses and ultimately the quality of life.
Opportunities exist for personal and professional growth. The strength of the Chamber is work done by volunteer members on various committees. By working as a team, the Board of Directors strive to achieve the Chamber’s mission through strong leadership and excellence in programs and events execution.
