Hours of operation:
The Tobermory & District Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary association of business men and women who have joined together to advance the economic and social well-being of the community.
It is an advocate for our business members and represents our businesses at the municipal as well as regional levels. The Chamber works to act as a resource centre for new businesses and tourism and as an active representative on several community initiatives.
Our Chamber of Commerce creates opportunities for members to learn, meet other business people and to do business with one another. This is accomplished with networking events such as: Welcome Back Wine and Cheese, workshops, trade shows and more.
The Chamber of Commerce operates the Tourist Information Centre and the Chi-Cheemaun Information Centre at the Ferry Terminal, hosts an Annual General Meeting, hosts the Community Events Calendar on our website and partners with other associations, tourism offices and chambers to promote the Northern Bruce Peninsula community.
