What does the Fort Nelson Chamber do?

The Fort Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce started taking its first steps towards economic development when it began in 1959.

Now the Fort Nelson Chamber is comprised of members in a wide range of businesses, from home-based businesses, retailers and services, to farming, construction, manufacturing, transportation, oilfield and more. The Chamber plays a role in helping people from these sectors network among each other to do business and to learn from each other. It also helps them speak up with one voice about shared concerns and obstacles to achieving business goals.
