Now in its 41 st year of existence, the Chamber of Commerce has come a long way from its basement on Sainte-Croix Avenue. Created in 1981 by the notary Claude Gratton, then president of the Association des hommes d’affaires de Saint-Laurent, the Chamber of Commerce is today a major player in the economic development of the territory.
En 2012, the organization took a new turn: it added Mont-Royal to its territory and officially became the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Saint-Laurent – Mont-Royal.

Nearly 300 people were present for the official launch of this new Chamber on January 15, 2013 at the Town Hall of Mont-Royal.
Some recognize the obvious contribution of the Chamber to the economic life of these two territories. The multiplication of cases put forward by its administrators or in which they collaborate demonstrates this. Numerous networking activities take place throughout the year, including Happy Hours where new members are welcomed.

An active member welcomes new members of the Chamber and those who want to meet them on a happy hour to their home. Each new member introduces himself, then the guests enjoy a company visit.
Of course, the Alpha Competition has crowned excellence for 37 years, but its revitalized formula now allows business people to discover new businesses in their territory. The members of the business jury sometimes go further by establishing serious contacts between them, which creates a very interesting economic movement.
