Our Story

Now in its thirty-second year of existence, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Saint-Laurent – Mount Royal has made much progress since its start in a basement on Sainte-Croix Avenue. Created in 1981 by Notary Claude Gratton, then president of Saint-Laurent Businessmen’s Association, the Chamber of Commerce is today more active than ever.

In 2012, the organization has taken a new turn by adding Mount Royal to its territory, thus becoming officially the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Saint-Laurent – Mount Royal.

Nearly 300 people attended the official launch of the new Chamber which took place on January 15, 2013, at Mount Royal Town Hall. Everyone recognizes the obvious involvement of the Chamber in Saint-Laurent and Mount Royal’s economic life. The many subjects brought before its directors or with which they have collaborated clearly demonstrate this.

Many networking activities take place during the year, especially Happy Hour where we welcome new members of the Chamber.

An active member welcomes new members to his/her premises and those who wish to meet them during an early-evening cocktail. Each new member presents himself/herself, and the invitees then visit the host firm.

Of course, the Alpha Contest has recognized excellence for over 30 years, but its revitalized format now permits business people to discover new companies and to purchase their products or services. The members of the business juries often have gone further by establishing meaningful contacts between themselves, which creates a very interesting economic effort.
