Rural Business Initiative
From Research to Action – Phase Two now ongoing!
The Rural Business Initiative is in its exciting second phase—a proactive, action-based approach to support rural businesses in Area C. Building on insights from our Rural Business Initiative Report we’re transitioning from research to action, directly addressing the needs of rural businesses with tailored workshops and resources.
NEW! Rural Comox Valley Newsletter
The Rural Comox Valley Business Newsletter helps local business owners stay ahead of decisions and opportunities that may affect their operations. Each month, we monitor CVRD meetings, planning applications, infrastructure projects, business programs, grants, training opportunities, and community initiatives, then provide a concise summary of what happened, what's coming next, and why it matters.
The Comox Valley Area C Resources Directory brings together key government information, business supports, and local resources to help Area C businesses navigate and grow. It’s designed to be a practical, up-to-date tool you can return to whenever you need reliable information. If you have suggestions for useful additions or updates, please email ruralbusiness@comoxvalleychamber.com—this guide will continue to evolve over time.
Through education, advocacy and events, we build relationships that strengthen the local economy, not just for our members, but for all business.
