Background
The South Stormont Chamber of Commerce was conceived on January 18, 2000 by a group of 12 dynamic, enthusiastic and community-minded business
people who were willing to share their knowledge and experiences. Founding members recognized the benefits of a unified voice to address issues of concern, the value of a chambers' networking opportunites
and the advantages of the many member incentives. Some of the incentives members enjoy include attractive Visa and MasterCard merchant discount rates, a chamber business directory and extended healthcare insurance
options for self-employed and small business owners.
Our mission statement "To foster the economic and social well-being of the community" defines our goals and visions for the South
Stormont Chamber of Commerce. Within a short period of time we have become incorporated and grown to an active group of over 60+ members. We provide a forum for ideas, initiatives and programs that
contribute to the economic, social and physical enhancement of the entire community. Our most visible activity is the SSCC Home & Trade Show which annually showcases local businesses to the community.
Another activity is our annual banquet which is a more leisurely event, however it also provide a great networking outlet for our members. The South Stormont Chamber of Commerce is excited and optimistic about the
current and future growth of South Stormont. As such, we plan to be a very active participant in its development.
There is much to be gained by joining the South Stormont Chamber of Commerce and we would like to invite you to either contact us for additional
information via e-mail at info@sscc.on.ca or attend one of our general meetings. Your support is encouraged as membership also offers you an opportunity to contribute your knowledge, experiences and talents to the economic and social development of your community.
