CHAMBER IN ACTION: A taste of what we’ve been up to over the past few weeks …

 

Seize the Moment: Unlocking North Shore Tourism Potential

We were proud to partner with Vancouver’s North Shore Tourism Association to bring together industry leaders and businesses for an engaging panel discussion on local tourism opportunities. From the ongoing strength of our visitor economy to the FIFA World Cup 2026, the message was clear: when tourism thrives, our whole community benefits. Read an event recap! Thank you to our Event Champions: City of North Vancouver, District of North Vancouver, DoubleTree by Hilton North Vancouver, and Serve Robotics, and Venue Sponsor: The Polygon Gallery.

Business After 5: Building connections at Mollie Nye House

Our latest Business After 5 brought together North Van Chamber members for a great evening of networking, refreshments, and meaningful conversations in one of North Vancouver’s most treasured spaces. Thank you to Lynn Valley Services Society for hosting and sharing the rich, century-old history of Mollie Nye House.

Walk & Talk: Networking around Rice Lake

Safe to say the conversations were as refreshing as the scenery for our Walk & Talk around Rice Lake in May! If you missed out this time, don’t worry — we offer a Walk & Talk every month. Bonus: it’s free for NV Chamber members. Thank you to our Walk & Talk Presenting Sponsor, PARC Retirement Living. Join us in July as we check out Loutet Farm & Park. Register: nvchamber.ca/events
