Calgary Chamber of Commerce

Today’s virtual signaling comments on twitter were only made worse with a glib smirking defense on CBC radio by the Chamber president @sandiplalli. She was tone deaf, poorly timed and publicly irresponsible.At a time when intense economic blockades of our ever improving energy industry are multiplying social issues and family strains - the chamber decides that echoing the false narrative of the nihilists bent on ‘shutting down canada’.If you’re advocating for the common good via the business community - then perhaps reflect on how to do that better. Until then, there is no chance my firm will become a member of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.

I've been a member of the Chamber since June 2014. The people are what make the Chamber great. Not only are the Member's Services team excellent to deal with, they are receptive to me as a business owner and find ways to increase my exposure. I've lost count how many times that I've been at event and a Chamber staffer introduces me to someone that may be of interest to my business.I have met so many fellow small business owners since I joined. I've also lost count as well.Joining the Chamber has increased the visibility of my business and and has added credibility.Make sure to attend the After Hours" events. Good fun and a great way to network organically.Brad Celmainis

The Calgary Chamber of Commerce does an exceptional job extending and strengthening our City’s business infrastructure, especially in the Small-Medium size verticals. In addition to organizing events that are almost always sold-out, the Chamber creates an environment that enables businesses in B2B to build relationships and serve each other. I highly recommend entrepreneurs to look into being Chamber members and use it to it’s full potential

Always great events and resources by the Chamber. As the 2013 Finalist for Small Business of the Year and Breakout Business, my team and I were treated wonderfully. The Business in Calgary Events email and listing is invaluable for people wanting to expand their knowledge of Calgary's business climate, and the LinkedIn Group is rocking thanks to Aaron.

I wasn't sure if I should join the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, but I quite happy that I have! Everyone I have dealt with from the Chamber has been welcoming, professional, and the events I have attended so far have been excellent. Teri Lang was so gracious and helpful that I'm already considering upgrading my membership. Well done!

Did next to NOTHING for businesses during the lockdowns but now decides to advocate for vaccine passports -- how is that supposed to help businesses?! CCC has become a self-serving organization, advocating for its own interests above those of actual businesses.

I'm a new member of the Chamber, having joined in December of 2015.What convinced me to join was the renewed dynamism of the organization, plus my feeling that they're making an immense positive difference for their small business members in Calgary in various ways. The committed individuals I've met at the Chamber are inspiring.Whether it's at events, advocating for supportive government action, or simply taking feedback from members, the new" Calgary Chamber is engaged with its membership

Being a member on and off since 1989. The membership fee is hefty for a small manufacturing business and it looks like that even they had to downsize as it is not as easy anymore to get a hold of them. Calgary is either hopping or hurting when you can't even get the Chamber to answer the phone. They did help us out during the flood and were very responsive then. We have competition, so we respond immediately. There is only one Chamber of Commerce in Calgary. Hence, my frustration with phone calls going to voice mail by default just like it does with CRA or 311

We would like to share our experience regarding the Calgary Chamber with everyone. After looking at different organizations and how we envisioned the direction of Calgary Elite Roofing we decided to call the Calgary Chamber and find out what they had to offer.We had our initial meeting with Teri L and decided that it was the right fit and proper direction for us to go. She took the time to explain how so many business's before us had grown into major household names in Calgary and how the Calgary Chamber would be able to assist us with our growth we had mapped out.Now after two years and several amazing seminars and workshops we have more then tripled in size and continue to push forward and we continue to grow at an incredible rate with a new division opening in 2017.Not only have we made incredible contacts in the business world in Calgary but thanks to the Chamber we have been able to develop different areas of our business years ahead of schedule.All of the staff at the Calgary Chamber have an amazing can do attitude and they are always searching for new and innovative ways to assist in developing your business.They have incredible drive and if you are looking to bring your business to the next level this should be on the top of the list on places to be, things to do, and people to meet. Being a member has truly made an impact on us both personally as well as professionally that was well beyond what we could have imagined.

The Chamber really has its finger on the pulse of Calgary, and does a fantastic job of keeping businesses informed and connected. Having just attended their Onward conference, I was blown away by the variety of speakers they had scheduled, and left with a renewed sense of optimism and excitement for what's coming next in Calgary.
