Who and What We are

The Collingwood Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit organization powered by hundreds of member businesses. Our membership spans every corner of the economy—from start-up entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses to national and multinational corporations. Together, our members represent a full spectrum of industries, enterprises, and associations across Collingwood and the surrounding region.

The Chamber is guided by an 11-member professional team, supported by two volunteer committees and numerous sub-committees. This collective expertise and commitment ensure we remain responsive to our members’ needs and proactive in strengthening the business community.

What We Do

With the invaluable input of our Board of Directors, volunteers, and stakeholders, the Collingwood Chamber of Commerce has grown into the recognized voice of Collingwood’s business community, and one of the most active Chambers in the region.

We continuously evaluate and shape policies on a wide range of issues that matter to business. Whether preparing strategic submissions to federal, provincial, or municipal governments, engaging in discussions on taxation or healthcare, or providing input on local priorities such as tourism, the Chamber serves as a strong and respected advocate.

Beyond advocacy, we provide a broad spectrum of benefits tailored to businesses of all sizes. From networking and visibility to cost savings and professional resources, the Chamber delivers the tools and opportunities that help our members succeed.
