Chamber Membership Testimonial
"Thank you to the Squamish Chamber of Commerce for allowing Melissa, Michele and I to host the December Chamber after 5. It was an excellent evening of networking with fellow entrepreneurs in town, including a lot of laughs! This was my first Chamber after 5 event, and I look forward to attending many more during the 2012 season." Felicity Brempong, The Nova Team @ Verico
"You and the team are doing a great job to support the local business economy especially in difficult times like these. Under the new management of 2011 the Squamish Chamber has delivered huge value, an inspiration to many business owners with every event growing more and more in attendance."
“I am so happy to be part of the Chamber of Commerce here in Squamish. I think it makes a big difference to my business to be able to network with our community.”
Heidi Stokes, Garibaldi Fitness
"About all the events, The Squamish Chamber always seems to arrange events that will clearly have an impact on our business. So, even though I live in another town and we have staff in Squamish that could go, I often can't resist going to them myself!" "
"I never thought of our company as sustainable before. But, as Ken Veldman spoke I realized more and more things that we already do in our company that make us sustainable. That evening gave our company the realization of a whole new strength that we can compete with!"
Garth Wardle, Allsite IT
"My husband and I are thrilled with all the contacts we have made through attending the Chamber events. We have learnt so much, in such a short time on new directions to explore with our businesses. It has also been a great social, we've met some wonderful people. Thank you."
Terri & Harvey Kroeker, Glacier View Cedar Homes and Diamond Head Yamaha
"I love these After 5 events. Gets me out and about after work, lets me try restaurants that I normally wouldn't go to since they are not on my radar and it lets me connect with our community."
Heidi Stokes, Garibaldi Fitness
"Joining the Squamish Chamber of Commerce in 2003 for me was all about networking, professional development and meeting new friends. Having moved to Squamish 4 years ago and working from a home office, joining the Chamber has been an invaluable experience both on a business and personal level. I will be an active chamber member for as long as I continue to work and live in this great community."
Kim Stegeman, Horwath Consultants, Chamber of Commerce Board Member (2004 - 2007)
