The Owen Sound & District Chamber is a
collaboration of close to 500 member businesses, not-for-profit
community organizations and city, provincial and federal offices

They advocate for and encourage the support of all of their

larger voice to foster the business environment and facilitate
the networking and educational forums that are a major
ingredient in our strategic plan. Member businesses are
connected with each other and with consumers through a complete
online business directory.
