What does Delta Chamber do?

The Delta Chamber of Commerce started taking its first steps towards economic development when it began in 1910. It became part of the heritage of farming, fishing and early businesses in the community mainly in Ladner.

Now the Delta Chamber is comprised of members in a wide range of businesses, from home-based businesses, retailers and services, to farming, construction, manufacturing, transportation, ports and more. The Chamber play 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.
