The Mission of the Chamber of Commerce is to strengthen the business climate by providing leadership, representation, networking opportunities, services and education to our membership. Our Vision is to be a committed, visible, supportive organization contributing to the on-going health of the Okotoks and District business community.

The Okotoks and District Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to some tremendous changes in 2012. Due to the staggering growth of Okotoks and area in the last few years our membership continues to grow. Our office space is located at 14 McRae Street in Okotoks. Be sure to stop in and introduce yourself. Our hours of operation are 9:00 am – 4:00 pm Monday to Friday.

Our Goals and Objectives set out for 2012 include increasing membership by 10%, developing a positive profile to the community at large, deliver education and information to members and local citizens, provide effective coordination of business events, and to develop a forum for business advocacy, lobby and representation through association with the Alberta and Canadian Chambers of Commerce.
