The Tofino Long Beach Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1929 as the Tofino Board of Trade and incorporated under the federal Boards of Trade Act. The organization’s name was changed to the Tofino Chamber of Commerce in 1949 and ultimately renamed to the Tofino-Long Beach Chamber of Commerce in later years. The Chamber remains Tofino's longest-running and largest business organization. With well over 300 members, it represents the majority of local and area businesses

Got a business decision you can't stop circling? Running a business on the coast means making a lot of calls, often on your own, and often with very little time to think them through. That's exactly what this session is for.
Join Ucluelet business coach Conor Woodard for Better Decisions: A Working Session for Tofino & Ucluelet Business Owners. You'll explore where good decision-making actually comes from and how to make better decisions, faster. Bring the real decision you've been struggling with and work through it together with fellow local entrepreneurs.
This is a working session, not a lecture, so expect plenty of group discussion.

Good news for B.C. businesses: the province has paused the planned expansion of PST to professional services that was set to begin October 1.

Thank you to everyone who spoke up, including the business owners and chambers across the province who raised the real costs of a non-recoverable tax. This is a win for the advocacy of the BC Chamber network and will keep money in the pockets of members & their customers.

A pause is not a cancellation. Eliminating it is a position adopted by members through the BC Chamber's policy process, and the Tofino Chamber will keep working with @ to see it scrapped.

⚠️ Scam Alert: Fake "Member List" Emails

We've been made aware that some of our members have received emails from someone claiming to sell a Tofino Chamber of Commerce "Registrants/Member List" with 1,000+ contacts.

This is not from us. The Tofino Chamber of Commerce does not sell or distribute member/registrant lists, and this email did not come from our organization.

If you received this email:
🚫 Don't reply or provide any payment information
🚩 Don't click any links or attachments
🗑️ Delete it, or report it as spam/phishing

If you have questions about whether a communication is legitimately from the Chamber, please reach out to us directly at [email protected]

Stay safe out there!
