Chamber 1863 Web Project officially launches

When you’re used to looking to the future, it can be a little awe-inspiring to look back and see how far we’ve come.

On Thursday, Feb. 9, The Chamber celebrates our 160th anniversary with a special sold-out evening planned at the Royal BC Museum.

The gathering is another great way for Chamber members to connect while discovering some of the fascinating stories that have shaped our region and our organization. It’s the first of many opportunities planned throughout the year.

Another way you can join in our celebration is with The Chamber 1863 web project, which takes a deep dive into the history of our organization and the many communities that contributed to the growth of trade and commerce in our region. It’s a fascinating look at people who left a legacy, and a chance to better understand the struggles of those who overcame discriminatory social and political practices of the times.

The site is live now, and is a living project that we anticipate will continue to grow as more information and content becomes available. Have a look at make sure to follow The Chamber’s social platforms for ongoing updates on the project. Send your feedback to communications@victoriachamber.ca.
