Chambre de commerce et d'industrie Les Moulins

What Chambre de commerce et d'industrie Les Moulins does

Chambre de commerce et d'industrie Les Moulins (CCIM) is a non-profit chamber of commerce incorporated under Quebec law, headquartered at 3115 boul. de la Pinière in Terrebonne and serving businesses across the MRC Les Moulins territory (Terrebonne and Mascouche) in the Lanaudière region of Canada. The organization was formed on June 19, 2013, through the merger of two predecessor chambers — the Chambre de commerce de Terrebonne (founded June 20, 1935) and the Chambre de commerce de Mascouche (founded June 21, 1976) — to eliminate duplication and consolidate service to the regional business community. CCIM positions itself as the largest business network in Lanaudière and operates through a four-wing structure (Affaires au Féminin, Aile Jeunesse, Commerces et Services d'ici, Cellule Industrielle) that segments engagement across women entrepreneurs, under-40 founders, local commerce, and industrial manufacturers.

CCIM's core offering is a tiered annual membership (Autonome $159, Régulier $259, Premium $399, Corporate $599, Industrial $458-$758 per year), bundled with access to 40+ annual networking events, four business circles, the Mentorat Les Moulins mentorship program, a reciprocal member-to-member discount program (80+ participating businesses), and visibility across its owned channels (1,500+ newsletter contacts, 6,800+ social followers, 13,000 monthly page views). Ancillary revenue comes from a tiered annual partnership program (Diamond, Platinum+, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Media, Service), the Kit média advertising package, event sponsorships, and flagship events such as Gala Vision and La Classique des Maires. The organization is a member of the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec (FCCQ) and the Regroupement des jeunes chambres de commerce du Québec (RJCCQ), and co-funds the Hello prepaid Visa local-purchasing program with MRC Les Moulins and the cities of Terrebonne and Mascouche.

Delivery runs on a lean nine-person permanent staff covering CEO, operations, member experience, events/sponsorships, communications/marketing, social media, mentorship/circles, business development, and administration. Core technology is third-party: the Membri365 member portal, Cyberimpact for email, TVRM for the Fibre E video series, and the Plania AI business-plan platform (offered to members at 10% off). CCIM does not operate proprietary technology; its competitive position rests on network density, territorial designation within the provincial chamber federation, and institutional partnerships rather than technology differentiation.
