About Us

The South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce respectfully acknowledges that our work is conducted on the ancestral and unceded traditional territory of the Board Salish people, especially the Semiahmoo, Katzie, Kwantlen First Nations. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve on this territory.

Background

The Chamber is a not-for-profit membership based organization. We have a long and established history in the area, dating back to 1937. Many businesses in the community have taken advantage of the numerous resources we make available. This has been especially true through the pandemic. We support, advocate for, connect and promote our members and the overall local business community. We have organized and made available support local campaigns, business courses, in-person and virtual events, industry roundtables, community town halls, etc.. We will continue to be a reliable source of government updates on policies, grants and protocols through the Chamber e-notices and our social media channels.

Strength of the Chamber Network

The Chamber network has always had a very strong voice at the decision-making table at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. That has never been more true than through the pandemic. By being a member, businesses are connected to the biggest and broadest business network across the province and Canada. Our Chamber is an active member of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the BC Chamber of Commerce. These relationships connect local businesses to over 450 other Chambers and Boards of Trade and 200,000 businesses nationally. The Chamber network's advocacy has resulted in changes and adjustments to policies to better respond to the needs of businesses. The combined resources and buying power of the network also enables us to provide reduced rates on a myriad of benefits and services to our members, such as extended employee health benefits, merchant fees, etc. and we are constantly adding to our offerings. We welcome members to take an active role in the promotion of your business through the Chamber. Come down and get to know our helpful staff and get plugged in on what’s new!

Chamber Recognition in Government

New Chamber Logo and Brand

Introducing - a refreshed look for the Chamber logo!

As the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce enters its 85th year, it was the right time to refresh our identity. It was our goal to maintain a connection to our past while updating the logo with a modern approach. This new logo pays homage to the original by maintaining the triangle and incorporating the Chamber's main corporate colours, navy and yellow. In graphic design, the triangle is known to symbolize balance and stability. It can also be seen as a representation of the mountains that we see from many parts of our community in the north and south. At the same time the colour blue represents the element of stability in business, while yellow represents positive energy, friendliness and community. Perhaps the most powerful statement made by the overlapping triangles is that the Chamber brings together South Surrey and White Rock, the 2 jurisdictions we represent. They truly do come together as one unique and special community.

The new logo symbolizes community building.

The heart of our work at the Chamber.
