What The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce does

The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce is a provincial not-for-profit organization headquartered in Regina, Saskatchewan, that serves as the collective voice of the provincial business community. Founded in 1920, the Chamber represents over 10,000 individual businesses, industry associations, and local chambers of commerce, advocating on their behalf across policy areas including Finance and Taxation, Workforce Development, Natural Resources and Energy, Trade and Infrastructure, Investment and Growth, and Indigenous Engagement. It is part of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce federation and works closely with the Chamber of Commerce Executives of Saskatchewan.

The Chamber's core offering is a membership program that bundles advocacy representation with access to signature events (the Annual General Meeting, Political Forum, and ABEX Awards), the Indigenous Business Directory, the Young Entrepreneur Bursary Program ($5,000 bursaries plus mentorship, funded by the Government of Saskatchewan), the Chambers Plan Employee Benefits program, and a member directory on the ChamberMaster/GrowthZone platform. Technology infrastructure is conventional: WordPress for the public site, ChamberMaster for member management, billing, and event registration, with native calendar integrations (Google, iCal, Yahoo).

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring membership fees from businesses, local chambers, and professional associations; event revenue including Political Forum tickets ($195 per member) and AGM sponsorship tiers ($3,500 supporting, $6,000 presenting); and advertising/sponsorship through the Insight Sask newsletter and event sponsorship packages. The organization employs 1-10 staff under CEO Prabha Ramaswamy and is governed by an elected Board of Directors drawn from across the membership base, with the 2026-2027 board chaired by Shawn Moen of 9 Mile Legacy Brewing Co.
