Quick question: What's one thing you wish you could buy in Sooke that you currently have to leave town for? Tell us in the comments.
Then take our short community survey on shopping habits in the Sooke region: Link in 1st comment.

Your input will help us better understand where residents shop and what opportunities may exist to keep more spending local. Sooke already has a growing mix of local retailers, artisan shops, and independent businesses, and this survey will help build a clearer picture of community needs. And be entered to win $!

What a fantastic way to kick off the pre-summer! Our joint mixer The Artisan's Garden brought together an incredible mix of business owners and new faces for an evening of connections and collaboration! A big thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event such a success! A special thanks to First Sip Mobile Bar for the refreshing free mocktails! They were a hit and helped keep the networking flowing all evening! A perfect way to head into the summer season! See you at our next one July 16th! Check out our calendar of events!

💯 correct!

A lot of our West Shore customers tell us the same thing: “Worth the drive to Sooke.”

We hear it from folks in Langford and Colwood who could have stayed closer to Victoria and came out our way instead.

We think it's worth it too — and not only because you end up here. You get someone who'll talk it through with you, give you honest options, and not rush you out the door.

If you've been meaning to get something looked at, we're at the corner of Sooke and Church.

Stop by anytime.

It was such a pleasure connecting with everyone at the conference. These are fellow Vancouver
lsland ED's who strive to serve their communities with everything they’ve got. When one of us needs support, encouragement, or fresh ideas, the network is always there. It truly takes a team! 😍

Conference travel shouldn't just be about meeting rooms-it’s about discovering the local culture and landmarks too!
​A few highlights from exploring the area:
✔️ Learning local history at the Saulteau First Nations Cultural Centre
✔️ Checking out the famous Chetwynd Chainsaw Carvings
✔️ Standing by the massive wind turbines (did you know just one powers over 1,500 homes? 🤯)
Visiting Mile Zero of the Alaska Highway!
​Always make time to explore.

I'm incredibly proud to celebrate & receive my 3-year milestone pin with the Chamber! It has been an amazing journey supporting our local business community, and I am thrilled to share that I will also be continuing my work on the Chamber of Commerce Executive of BC Board.
​Thank you to everyone who has collaborated with, supported, and inspired me along the way. Looking forward to another fantastic year of growth, connection, and making an impact!
