Connecting your business to grow and thrive.

Benefits of Membership

Kelowna Chamber membership offers ways to connect your business or organization to others in the community. We provide unique ways to bring businesses and people together, creating space to grow and reach your goals. Members receive value for their membership through special rates and exclusive access. These are a few of your built-in benefits. 

• Complimentary tickets & special member pricing for events or seminars
• Member-only marketing channels 
• Directory Listing and Member brand recognition
• Signature program sponsorship opportunities
• Rental of our Boardroom (as available)
• Special rates for Certificates of Origin*

Benefits of membership means gaining access to services through economies of scale. That translates to increased buying power for small and medium-sized businesses - and sometimes better rates than what larger organizations might see.

*CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN

A Certificate of Origin is a document verifying the origin of goods being exported. In customs terms, determining the “origin” of a product can be complicated but is one of the key factors for applying tariff and other import criteria. Whether the exporter needs a Certificate of Origin depends on a variety of factors. Download our Certificate of Origin Information Package or contact us to talk about it.

There is a minimal fee to Kelowna Chamber members for this service. Not a member? No problem. Our outside rate for this service is $78.75 (incl. tax).
