What We Do

The Delta Chamber of Commerce started taking its first steps towards economic development in 1910. It became part of the local heritage of farming, fishing and early businesses mainly in Ladner.

Now the Delta Chamber is comprised of members in Ladner, Tsawwassen, North Delta and two industrial parks, and in a wide range of businesses, from home-based enterprises, retailers and services, to farming, construction, manufacturing, transportation, ports and more. The Chamber play a role in helping people from these sectors network among each other to do business and to learn. It also acts as the “voice of business” on a wide variety of challenges to business. It advocates for, and provides benefits and services to, members at local, provincial and national levels.
