Be A Member - Whitby Chamber of Commerce

Why the Chamber?

What members are saying

I’m always promoting the Whitby Chamber to everyone I meet. I believe with the business’s participation they will become very connected in the community. The team are very helpful, fun and are proactive in hosting events to keep everyone engaged.

The Whitby Chamber of Commerce is not just about networking, it is the cornerstone for building sound business relationships. I have specific rewarding results that were 100% a result of my membership.

I always leave Java Jolt conversations feeling recalibrated and back on track.

The Chamber is more than just a networking forum, the Chamber is my advocate, interpreter, cheerleader for shopping local and partner in doing business in Durham Region.

I attended Chamber on Tap and met a new contact who's become influential to my business. We've since become close friends and refer each other business, but we never would have connected without the Chamber. Chamber events are a great opportunity to share your story, and you never know who's listening!

The new members' event was great last week, and I've made some amazing connections already! I love how active the Chamber is!

I connected with a brand new member at the Chamber on Tap event last night, and in exchanging pleasantries through email this morning, he voiced how he was brand new, but last night he didn't feel brand new and enjoyed the format. So cudois for that!

"The Peter Perry and Business Achievement Awards put on by our Chamber of Commerce was a spectacular evening giving us all a chance to celebrate the strength and leadership of our local business community. This was the event of the year."

Ryan Turnbull, MP

I truly enjoyed the diverse group of unique individuals that combined as such a formidable think tank! Whitby has some great minds and I have taken some of these great ideas back and presented them to our team at Paramount Pallet. I look forward to the next Java Jolt!
