The Huron Chamber of Commerce has been named one of Canada’s Top 10 fastest growing Chambers of Commerce, ranking #4 in the country, according to a new research report from the Chamber of Commerce Executives of Canada (CCEC).

The report, Membership Trends Across the Chamber Network, highlights significant membership growth across Canada, with Huron Chamber’s membership increasing by 27.3% in 2024. This recognition places the Chamber among the most dynamic and rapidly expanding business organizations in the nation.

“This achievement is a testament to the strength of our local business community and the Chamber’s commitment to advocacy, business support, and community-building,” said Colin Carmichael, Executive Director of the Huron Chamber of Commerce. “Over the past year, we have expanded our service area to represent nearly all of Huron County, launched new initiatives, and strengthened partnerships that drive economic growth. This recognition reinforces that our efforts are making a real difference for businesses in our region.”

The Chamber’s expansion of its geographic boundaries in 2024 significantly contributed to its growth, now officially representing eight municipalities across Huron County.

“Our Chamber has a long history of supporting businesses, and this growth shows that we are providing real value for our members,” said Jodi Snell, Chair of the Huron Chamber of Commerce. “As we celebrate our 35th anniversary this year, we remain committed to building on this momentum and ensuring that Huron County continues to be a great place to do business.”

The national report also revealed a 92.1% membership retention rate across Canadian Chambers, highlighting strong engagement within the Chamber network.

“I am excited to announce CCEC’s first annual ranking of Canada’s fastest growing Chambers of Commerce. Congratulations to these leading Chambers and their dedicated staff whose persistence and passion are uniting business communities across Canada,” said Becky Davison, President of CCEC. “It’s inspiring to see such strong membership retention and widespread membership growth across the Chamber Network. We look forward to building on this momentum throughout 2025.”

The Huron Chamber of Commerce extends its gratitude to its members, partners, and community leaders for their ongoing support and engagement.
