THE OAKVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

About us

The Oakville Chamber of Commerce acknowledges that we are located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, as well as the Traditional Territory of the Haudenosaunee, and Huron-Wendat people. Further, we acknowledge that the Town of Oakville is covered by Treaty 14, the Head of the Lake Purchase (1806), and Treaty 22 (1820).

The Oakville Chamber was established in 1949 with a mission to foster a healthy, engaged and sustainable business environment and economy. The Oakville Chamber is more than just a network—it’s a pillar of strength for businesses navigating change. We advocate on your behalf to ensure policies support business growth and economic resilience. We connect you with like-minded leaders, decision-makers, and industry experts to foster collaboration and create new opportunities. And we provide insights to help you stay ahead, offering the latest intelligence on the economy, workforce trends, and innovation.

More than ever, belonging matters. Your Chamber is a place where businesses come together to collaborate, share knowledge, and build a stronger, more resilient community. Through exclusive insights, high-impact events, and direct advocacy, we help businesses thrive—not just survive.
