We are proud to be involved in a group of businesses that represent the community so well. As a local manufacturer for 25 years, we have seen a lot of businesses come and go, but the Chamber has been going strong for 100 years!

I trust my Chamber of Commerce to look after my interests through their extensive advocacy efforts and Chamber network. I would much rather be in my business leading classes and meeting my clients’ goals and expectations than being down at City Hall.

I applaud this Chamber for its efforts in standing up for small business.

We have joined the Chamber of Commerce for the convenience of networking enabled through the Chamber. Not only for advertising and getting the word of the business out, but to build relationships and help other business grow in our wonderful community. Joing the Chamber of Commerce also helps lower costs for Point of Sale transactions and banking matters.

I have found membership in the chamber has been a valuable resource for marketing our services. "Members Support Members" makes the best way to network for each other's benefit. We often become each other's customers and friends. Many business contacts through referrals have been fruitful. I recommend the Chamber for any new or existing business, to make your products and services known to the membership.

I would like you to know how extremely pleased I am with being a Chamber member. It has been of great benefit and value towards establishing my new business.

We started a small business in a new city where I did not know anyone, but our choice of the City of Penticton was the correct one. Penticton is a city of growth and prosperity; it as a wonderful small town appeal but with big city advantages.

A chamber membership has many great monetary values to it but I feel the networking is the most valuable. The Chamber's Business to Business offered me the opportunity to meet the established business owners and the new entrepreneurs on a regular basis. I soon had a collection of contacts whereupon my day to day operational needs were met right here in Penticton. The reverse was also true whereupon my first and second business quarters are exceptional and well above the goals established in my "Business Plan".

The Power Hour breakfast meetings give me additional opportunities to showcase my business as well as listen to interesting and informative business topics presented by speakers who know their topic. The great food at the breakfasts is a wonderful way to kick-start my day!

I firmly believe that my success in Penticton has in no small way been from my membership and involvement with the Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce.
