Your Board of Directors at work...About Our Chamber

The East Hants & Districts Chamber of Commerce in Hants County Nova Scotia, is a member driven organization, seeking to promote networking, advertising  & business opportunities for local companies and community groups.

Founded in 1986, we are a not-for-profit organization designed to offer the business community a voice in matters of collective economic interest, while providing our members with services designed to assist them in their ability to do business.  The Chamber's mandate is to communicate among members, between the Chamber and the business community, and to plan events that will provide members with business opportunities.


Message from the President

It’s an exciting time to have a business in East Hants - our entire community is experiencing tremendous growth, and in fact it’s one of the fastest growing areas in the Atlantic Provinces! Businesses are poised to take advantage of this growth and the Chamber is here to assist you with that opportunity.

It's our intention to make the Chamber a valuable tool for you to promote your organization’s message to other businesses and to the community at large. This will entail everything from your use of our newly-revamped website to holding networking opportunities including monthly after-hours receptions and lunch-time seminars, as well as holding annual events such as our Business Expo, our Business Awards Banquet and our Annual General Meeting Dinner.

That said, we want our members actively involved not only in the above-mentioned activities, but it’s also very important to let your Chamber know what else you would like us to do to assist you and our general membership. Of course, we’d like your assistance in that, so get ready to get involved, to get busy and to improve the profile of your organization and the entire East Hants and Districts business community. Let’s all have a year filled with accomplishments!

Stephen Pottie - President 09/10
