Home / Membership
No business is a small business
Thirty-four businesses across the town, five rural municipalities and two villages are members. Here is exactly what that buys.
Six things and none of them vague
Your own page in the directory
Contact details, hours, description and links, on a page search engines can index. Each quarter we tell you how many people it sent to your website.
A room full of people who run businesses here
Monthly meetings, first Wednesday, for members only. Coming is optional, but every member is encouraged to — bring a problem, because somebody in the room has already solved it, and your view shapes what the Chamber does next.
Chambers Plan employee benefits
Health, dental, disability, travel, health spending accounts, employee assistance and virtual healthcare. One to fifty employees qualify, with no minimum company size.
Grants and funding found for you
The Economic Development Officer tracks what is open, what you qualify for, and when it closes.
Training that costs less together
First aid, safety, forklift certification, marketing. Run locally, priced for members.
A voice with the town and the province
The Chamber speaks for local business in the policy conversations you do not have time to attend.
What it costs
One fee a year, set by how many people you employ. Everything on this page is included at every level — the tiers are about fairness, not about holding benefits back.
$100
Home-based businessPer year. For a business run from home.
$200
1 to 3 employeesPer year. Most of the main street sits here.
$300
4 or more employeesPer year. No upper band — the largest member pays this too.
You choose your category on the enrolment form and an invoice follows. At $200 a year, a single quarter's worth of visits from your directory page covers it — and that is before the Chambers Plan rates, the training priced for members, or the grant you would not otherwise have heard about.
Employee benefits built for firms this size
Chambers Plan is designed for businesses of one to fifty employees. There is no minimum company size, and rates stay stable and competitive regardless of your own claims history — because you are pooled with thousands of other small Canadian firms.
