Tourism Information
Where land meets sea and cultures converge, Victoria is a city unlike any other. From boutique hotels fit for a queen to world-class attractions and exceptionally fresh, farm-to-table dining measured in metres—not miles—every experience feels both elevated and intimately local. Nestled between the tranquil waters of the Salish Sea and the lush, towering rainforests of Vancouver Island, Victoria offers a rare blend of natural beauty, refined charm, and vibrant coastal energy that makes it an unforgettable destination.
Policy Resolution Debates
The resolutions we debate and adopt will guide how we respond to current challenges and support Canadian businesses into the future.
Chamber Future Builders Competition
The Chamber Future Builders Competition brings together the most innovative chamber initiatives from across the country in a live pitch competition at the AGM & Convention.
Inspired by the three pillars of the Chamber 2027 Strategic Plan, initiatives are recognized in three categories:
Nation Builder: Initiatives that address regional, provincial, territorial or national challenges and contribute to Canada’s long-term prosperity.
Business Builder: Initiatives that help businesses grow, innovate, improve competitiveness or support entrepreneurship.
Community Builder: Initiatives that strengthen local leadership, partnerships and community capacity while creating meaningful local impact.
How It Works
- Submit your initiative by September 1.
- A judging committee will select finalists in each category.
- Finalists will be invited to present their initiative live at the AGM & Convention on October 29 in Victoria.
- Winners will be selected through a combination of judging panel evaluation and live audience voting.
