Why join the chamber? |
Becoming a member of the Cookstown and District Chamber of Commerce means joining a supportive network of local businesses and community champions. Members enjoy valuable benefits, promotion opportunities, and a voice in shaping our vibrant local economy. Whether you’re a small business owner, entrepreneur, or community supporter, we welcome you to grow with us.
The local chamber takes on the tough issues and opposes new regulations, taxes, fees, assessments and costs directed at small businesses. It also helps protect the principles of free enterprise and aids businesses in being treated fairly.
