Make individual business connections, promote your business and gain new business knowledge through Chamber events. Signature events include the Spring and Fall Dinners, the Halifax Business Awards and the Chamber Golf Challenge.
BENEFITS - As a member you can gain access to many benefit programs that save you and your company money. Many of the benefits allow small and medium-sized businesses access to programs otherwise unavailable to them due to their size.

The specialty publications that compliment Business Voice are Outlook and the All Ships Rise magazines. These publications are the main communication vehicle for members containing information and updates on all areas of the Chamber’s work.
