Welcome to the neighbourhood

Nice to see some media picking up on Esquimalt Business.

I think we need to get some media training for our ED ;)

A new veterinary hospital is adding to a changing commercial stretch of Esquimalt, bringing pet care closer to home for residents while giving the township another reason to shop and seek services locally.

What an Evening at Rosemead House

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fantastic sold out Esquimalt Chamber of Commerce Member Mixer at the stunning Rosemead House on Monday.

It was wonderful seeing so many local business owners, entrepreneurs, and community leaders connecting, sharing ideas, and enjoying such an incredible historic space.

A special thank you to the team at Rosemead House for their warm hospitality and for opening their doors to our business community.

What an impactful Lunch & Learn today

A big thank you to Marta Hyland (ValueLab) for showing us how to actually win back 4 hours a week with AI.

No fluff—just real business friction mapped out, live AI solutions built in front of the room, and practical frameworks for local business owners to take straight back to work.

Thanks to everyone who spent their lunch hour learning with us!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Sunday’s Municipal All-Candidates Forum!
We had over 200 members of the public pack the room at the Esquimalt Legion—it was incredible to see such a fantastic turnout and strong civic engagement from our community!
A huge thank you to all the candidates for dedicating their time to participate. They came well-prepared, spoke passionately, and gave voters plenty of insightful perspectives to consider ahead of election day.

We owe a special thank you to Ryan Price for doing an outstanding job keeping the evening running smoothly as our moderator—our Executive Director, James, was very grateful to pass the mic to such capable hands!

A quick note regarding the video: While we were glad to stream the event live, unfortunately, the recording failed to save due to a technical glitch. We are disappointed we don't have a replay to share, but we are deeply grateful to the hundreds of residents who tuned in live or joined us in person.
