Welcome to the Walkerton & District Chamber of Commerce Website

Our primary objective is to promote and develop trade and commerce within the environs of Walkerton and to further improve the economic, civil and social welfare of the district and encourage growth. The opportunities in Walkerton are endless for starting a new business or relocating your existing business. The Chamber of Commerce is ready, willing and able to help.

The Chamber of Commerce is actively involved in numerous community and business initiatives, such as the annual Christmas Shopping Promotion and Santa Claus Parade and other retail and service promotions. We feature a business directory of all Brockton businesses right here on our website, host educational and informative business luncheons and participate in many committees which serve with the focus of bettering our community.

The unhurried pace, top quality products and personal service offered in Walkerton and area put the pleasure back into shopping. Once you have experienced the lifestyle Walkerton has to offer, you will want to return.
