Welcome to the Tofino Chamber of Commerce

Since 1929, the Chamber has been Tofino’s business association, operating in this stunning, world-class destination. Our membership, largely made up of innovative entrepreneurs, is over 380 businesses, or two-thirds of Tofino’s business community. 

Our Mission is to champion business success by connecting, supporting, and advocating for our members—ensuring they have the resources, opportunities, and community power needed to thrive.

Steered by our Guiding Principles of Respect, Collaboration, Inclusivity, and Value, we are committed to fostering a community environment where every business can succeed and contribute to lasting prosperity.

We respectfully acknowledge The Tofino Chamber of Commerce and our members operate on the unceded traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation .  We encourage all businesses operating on these lands to become Tribal Parks Ally.

Our history

Incorporated as the Tofino Board of Trade on April 15, 1929, under the federal Board of Trade Act—and renamed Tofino Chamber of Commerce in 1955—the Chamber is Tofino’s longest-running business organization.

Governed by a volunteer Board of Directors representing a variety of business sectors, the Tofino Chamber of Commerce is a dynamic, member-driven non-profit organization that supports over 350 businesses, community organizations, and independent professionals. As a proud member of the British Columbia Chamber of Commerce, we actively engage with the wider chamber network throughout the province to amplify our members’ voices.

With a shared commitment to economic growth and collaboration, our Board of Directors guides the Chamber’s strategic direction. Supported by an Executive Director and essential committees, we diligently work alongside community partners and all levels of government to advocate for Tofino’s business needs and services to help our members thrive.
