Greater Nelson Business Walk 2025

Your Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Greater Nelson Economic Development is taking the pulse of the business community. In today’s competitive and fast-changing environment, no community can afford to let its businesses feel isolated. Business Walks and surveys are one way to bridge that gap, to keep conversations flowing, and to ensure that solutions are not made alone but are informed by the business people who open their doors every morning and turn on the lights.

The future of our local economy depends on businesses like yours. And your future is strengthened when chambers of commerce and economic development partners walk beside you—listening, advocating, and connecting you with the resources you need.

So when a Chamber director, staff from Community Futures, Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism, Kootenay Career Development or an elected official visits your business in mid-October, know this: it’s not just a visit It’s an invitation to shape the future of our business community together. This survey is an opportunity for you to provide input. Please take 5 minutes to complete the following survey

Sincerely

Rebeckah Hornung President
Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce, and Board Member of Nelson and Kootenay Lake Tourism
