Welcome to Kelowna

On behalf of the board of directors and team of the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, I am honoured to welcome you to Kelowna. You choose to live and work in this remarkable region, and we are grateful to have you here.

The network of our business community is wonderfully diverse and through this we can support each other. For each person, ‘doing business in Kelowna’ can look and feel somewhat different. Sometimes it’s in the small things and other times it can be in larger ways.

We offer here some resources to aid you in navigating this new landscape. As a new-to-Kelowna business, some items might be useful right away and others in the weeks or months ahead. We hope this can ease your search for information. How can we help?

The Kelowna Chamber is one of the longest serving organizations in the city and has been since 1906. Yet Kelowna is youthful and nimble. The Central Okanagan is one of the fastest growing regions in Canada and you are here because Kelowna is an attractive place to do business. Whether you come from BC, a different province, or another country, we thank you for joining our community.

As a catalyst of innovation, ideas, and connections, or in whatever ways you find helpful, please consider us a place where you can find support as you settle in. We invite you to add your voice in conversations.

I share a heartfelt welcome to our community, the region, and this city we call home.

Sincerely,

Maryse Harvey

President & Chair of the Board of Directors, Kelowna Chamber of Commerce
