TEAM

Thanks to the funding support from ETSI-BC and the Provincial Government, our South Okanagan Chamber Team is undertaking our business outreach and community support initiative for the South Okanagan Region. We are thankful for the extra resources to be able to add to our team and to ramp up what we currently do as a chamber and to have greater reach and impact.

We know your time is valuable so we are reaching out to you and your team in a variety of ways over the next several months to find out where we can be of service.

If you are having challenges or you have a great success story or milestone to share - please don't wait to hear from us!  Reach out today and let's get connected so we can continue building a stronger South Okanagan region.
